A capture after scrolling to the page footer (scroll_to_element=footer): the viewport shows the bottom of the page.

Example 2 of 3 in **What to Capture** · [Screenshot Examples](/reference/lookup/screenshot/examples/) · endpoint: [Screenshot](/reference/lookup/screenshot/)

Tags: `param` `scroll_to_element` · `value` `footer`

Asks for a capture after scrolling to the first element that matches the CSS selector `footer` (`scroll_to_element=footer`).

The browser scrolls until that element is in view, then captures the viewport, so the image shows the footer of `https://www.deepinfo.com` instead of its top. Unlike `selector`, the image keeps the full viewport size. The response looks like the default one; the difference is in the image.
