One POST

A real PageVerified capture

A request like this one:

curl -s -X POST https://pageverified.com/api/v1/capture \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $PAGEVERIFIED_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://pageverified.com/pricing","format":"png","viewport":{"width":720,"height":400}}'

returns HTTP 201 with this body. The hash, time and receipt are from a real capture made by the production service. Only the download link is shortened.

{
  "id": "6c5dbd00-8f1c-4b3a-9456-6d585e615e51",
  "artifact_url": "https://... signed download link, valid for 24 hours ...",
  "sha256": "748c89348b38d4e14e731d5071e409262a2f644c03461034d8c30e3353c5469c",
  "captured_at": "2026-11-10T15:46:35.948Z",
  "evidence_url": "https://pageverified.com/e/6c5dbd00-8f1c-4b3a-9456-6d585e615e51"
}

The receipt for that capture is public: /e/6c5dbd00-8f1c-4b3a-9456-6d585e615e51. It shows the same hash and time and lets anyone download the 42,580-byte PNG. How to check a file against its hash.

No key yet? This issues one with 25 credits. The key is shown once, so save it.

curl -s -X POST https://pageverified.com/api/v1/keys \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"label":"my agent"}'

POST /api/v1/capture/record takes the same body and also returns a signed Capture Record, for the capture cost plus 4 credits. Anyone can check its signature against the public keys at /.well-known/pageverified-keys.json.

Read this part

What a PageVerified capture is, and is not

The hash ties one file to one capture. If a file's SHA-256 equals the value on the receipt, it is byte for byte the file that receipt describes.
The capture time is UTC from PageVerified's own server clock. For a signed Capture Record, outside time-stamp authorities later sign the record's hash with their own time, usually within 15 minutes; the record check at /verify shows it.
A capture records what PageVerified's renderer saw at the recorded time. It is not a forensic chain of custody, proof of who wrote a page, or a legal certification.
It captures public pages only. It cannot log in, send cookies or set request headers, and a site can show the renderer something different from what you see in your own browser.
No uptime guarantee and no security or compliance certifications.
Nothing on this page is legal advice.
