Get started with ActivePieces
Follow these steps to integrate GoScreenAPI into your ActivePieces workflow.
Create a new flow in ActivePieces
Log in to ActivePieces (cloud or self-hosted) and click "New Flow". Choose a trigger — for example, a Webhook trigger, a Schedule trigger, or any app trigger.
Add an HTTP Request piece
Click "+" to add a step. Search for "HTTP" and select the "HTTP Request" piece. This piece lets you call any REST API endpoint.
Configure the GoScreenAPI call
Set Method to POST, URL to `https://api.goscreenapi.com/v1/screenshot`. In the Headers section, add `X-API-Key` with your API key. Set Body Type to JSON.
Set the JSON body
In the Body field, enter the JSON with `url`, `format`, and other parameters. Use ActivePieces' expression syntax `{{trigger.url}}` to map dynamic values from your trigger.
Use the response in downstream steps
The API response contains `image_url`. Reference it in downstream steps as `{{steps.http_request.response.body.image_url}}`. Use it to send emails, update databases, or trigger other actions.
