Most-used options

These aren't fixes for a specific problem — they're sensible defaults that make renders cleaner and more reliable. They're also the options that show up most in real usage.

Clean up the page

Cookie banners, ad slots, and consent dialogs clutter most screenshots. Remove them:

• hide_cookie_banners — hide common cookie/consent banners (set on ~61% of renders).
• click_accept — click the consent "accept" button instead of hiding it (~57%).
• block_ads — block ad networks (~46%).
• press_escape — dismiss modals by sending the Escape key (~44%).

{  "url": "https://example.com",  "hide_cookie_banners": true,  "click_accept": true,  "block_ads": true}

Use the latest engine

engine_version selects the rendering engine build. Set it to latest to pick up the newest fixes (set on ~48% of renders) — this alone resolves many one-off rendering quirks.

{  "url": "https://example.com",  "engine_version": "latest"}

Fail and retry sensibly

By default Urlbox returns a render even if the page errored. To treat HTTP errors as failures so you can catch them:

• fail_on_4xx / fail_on_5xx — fail the render on 4xx/5xx responses.
• fail_on — fail on specific status codes.
• retry_on — retry on conditions such as 429,503,timeout (Ultra plan).

{  "url": "https://example.com",  "fail_on_4xx": true,  "fail_on_5xx": true}

Extract data while you render

Save extra artifacts alongside the image, without a second request (set on ~42% of renders):

• save_markdown, save_html, save_metadata — save a Markdown, HTML, or metadata file next to the render.

{  "url": "https://example.com",  "save_markdown": true,  "save_metadata": true}
