Here’s another Christmassy alternative: https://display.archive.org/xmas
I’m one of the makers of OneMillionScreenshots.com and I’m currently working on an update to it.
I’m one of the makers of this - thank you for posting!
We built it in early 2024 and it’s due an update.
While the main visualisation is currently out of date we’ve been grabbing screenshots monthly for the last 18 months. There’s a a free (no key required) API to all the data at https://ScreenshotOf.com
I’d love to hear any ideas you have for improving it.
It’s one of the top reasons larger organisations prefer to use hosted services rather than doing it themselves.
It’s rare that anyone makes that kind of mistake. It probably helps that our rate limits are relatively low compared to other APIs and we email you when you get close to stepping up a tier. If you did make such a mistake we would, like all good dev tools, work with you to resolve. If it happened a lot we might introduce some additional controls.
We’ve been in this business for over 12 years and currently have over 700 customers so we’re fairly confident we have the balance right.
In my experience our customers are more worried about having the service stop when they hit the limit of a tier than they are about being charged a few more dollars.

- https://scrapingbee.com - scraping specialists
- https://urlbox.com - screenshot specialists*
They’re all profitable and have been around for years so you can depend on the businesses and the tech.
* Disclosure: I work on this one and was a customer before I joined the team.
If you also want to grab an accurate screenshot with the markdown of a webpage you can get both with Urlbox.
We have a couple of free tools that use this feature:
His book “Hourly Billing is Nuts” is particularly good: https://jonathanstark.com/hbin
I had so much fun with this with my 7 year old. Was super easy to take their art and make games with it. You can start by editing one of the many example games it comes with.
