description: Urlbox is a website screenshot and rendering API that captures pixel-perfect
  screenshots, PDFs, and video (MP4/WebM) of any web page or raw HTML. Renders are
  requested synchronously, asynchronously (with polling or webhooks), or via signed
  HMAC render links, with hundreds of options for full-page capture, element selectors,
  PDF layout, ad/cookie-banner blocking, waiting, and S3 storage.
