Save screenshots with standard Apify scrapers

Can a standard Apify scraper (ex: apify/google-search-scraper) to save screenshots of pages? How to add this into the input? Thanks!

Hi @Deleted User , the apify/google-search-scraper supports only saving of the HTML structure. Generally depends, whether the actor has this feature implemented, but I would say the majority of actors on the store currently don't support it. For a lot of actors is saving screenshots technically not possible at all, as they might not use a browser for scraping.

@Deleted User unfortunately this actor doesn't use browser either, so it is not possible to add this feature.

HTML snapshots are actually just fine in most cases. If you click on the HTML file in Key value store, you will get visual page like with screenshot
