List of links - adding thumbnail as a screenshot

Hi

Thought I would share this with you in case it is useful.

I have a list of “useful links” that users can add, edit, delete and obviously click on

Using ScreenshotOne - ScreenshotOne | Sign In and a template column, you can do this very simply in Glide.

Here is how it looks, and here is my template column text

https://api.screenshotone.com/take?access_key=*YOURAPIKEY&url=https://**URL**&viewport_width=800&viewport_height=800&full_page=false&format=jpg

Where URL is the URL without https://

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for sharing, can be very useful!

In my use cases where I have to do this, I use the OpenGraph integration to get the main image of the link. The screenshot can be a fallback.

Oh nice. OpenGraph. Haven’t looked at that. Love learning about new things!
