# URLBox

> Rendered screenshots and PDFs of a URL. The same job as ScreenshotOne, a different renderer.

Rendered screenshots and PDFs of a URL. The same job as ScreenshotOne, a different renderer.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find URLBox and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against URLBox before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

### What you will need

| Field   | What it is                             |
| ------- | -------------------------------------- |
| API Key | Your URLBox API Key from the dashboard |

### Getting the credential

1. Go to [URLBox](https://urlbox.com) and sign up
2. Copy your **API Key** from the dashboard Settings
3. Paste it into this connector

## Notes

* `render_sync` is best for images (PNG/JPEG/WebP/SVG)
* `render_async` is best for video (MP4/WebM) and large PDFs
* Renders are cached by default — use `force: true` to bypass
* `ttl` controls cache duration in seconds

See [URLBox API docs](https://urlbox.com/docs/api) for the full reference.

## What an agent can do with it

| Tool           | What it does                                                                                                                                         |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `render_sync`  | Synchronously render a URL to an image (PNG/JPEG/WebP), PDF, SVG, or video (MP4/WebM). Returns a renderUrl pointing to the output on the URLBox CDN. |
| `render_async` | Asynchronously render a URL. Returns a renderId and statusUrl — use get\_render to poll for completion.                                              |
| `get_render`   | Get the status and result of an async render job. Returns renderUrl when complete.                                                                   |
