A capture 3 seconds after the page loaded (delay=3000): time for animations and late content to settle.

Example 3 of 6 in **Page Loading** · [Screenshot Examples](/reference/lookup/screenshot/examples/) · endpoint: [Screenshot](/reference/lookup/screenshot/)

Tags: `param` `delay` · `value` `3000`

Asks for a capture 3 seconds after the page has loaded (`delay=3000`).

`delay` (up to 30,000 ms) waits a fixed time after loading, which works on pages that never go idle. The capture succeeded (`connection_status: success`) and `screenshot_url` links to the image.
