    Description, as the server wrote it
    Capture a screenshot of a public web page with ApiFlash's headless Chrome and return it as an image (up to 4 MB; a larger one comes back as a link only) together with ApiFlash's cache link. The link needs your own ApiFlash access key to open, so it is an identifier, not a shareable URL. USES YOUR APIFLASH QUOTA: each successful new capture counts as one screenshot of your monthly plan (a repeat with identical options inside `ttl` seconds comes from ApiFlash's cache and is free; fresh=true always counts). Options cover format, viewport size, full page, wait conditions, element or area capture, scale factor, ad / cookie-banner / tracker blocking, language, time zone and caching. Optionally also extract the page's HTML and text files (cache links returned; use apiflash_extract_page_content to read the text). Remaining quota is included. GET /urltoimage?response_type=json.
