NirmantixQ: Quick technical & retention questions about Peekshot screenshots (Sheets, CDN, WP, limits)
1. Do you provide a simple URL/formula to return a screenshot image URL for a domain (Sheets-friendly, e.g., IMAGE("https://.../" & A2 & "?token=..."))?
2. What is the response format — direct image URL, redirect, or JSON/base64? Are CDN-hosted cacheable URLs provided?
3. How long do you retain screenshots by default? Can retention be configured?
4. Are stored screenshots subject to bandwidth or views limits separate from storage quota? Please list limits per plan.
6. Do you support expiring/signed public URLs for safe embedding (to avoid leaking tokens)?
7. Any WordPress plugin or official WP integration planned? If not, do you provide PHP examples to fetch and cache images into the media library?
8. What is your uptime history, current paying-customer traction, and plan for long-term service continuity?

Nov 30, 2025A: Thanks for your detailed questions! Here are the answers one-by-one:
Do you provide a simple URL/formula for Google Sheets?
Not yet — currently, screenshots are created via API requests rather than a direct formula-style URL.
What is the response format?
PeekShot returns a CDN-hosted image URL in the API response. You get a direct link to the screenshot file (no base64 or redirect needed).
How long are screenshots retained?
At the moment, screenshots are retained indefinitely until the user deletes them manually.
Are there view/bandwidth limits separate from storage?
Yes — view limits are separate, but there is currently no cap on views or bandwidth usage.
Do you support expiring or signed URLs?
Not right now — expiring/signed public URLs are not supported yet.
Any WordPress plugin planned? PHP examples?
No official WordPress plugin at the moment, but you can easily integrate using PHP.

Uptime history and long-term reliability?
You can see our live uptime history here: https://status.peekshot.com
PeekShot had one downtime incident (~1 hour) caused by a global Cloudflare outage, which resolved automatically once Cloudflare fixed the issue.
Happy to clarify anything else!

Example: Suppose I have a Google sheet with website url in column-A.
Can I create an API formula to get screenshot URL of all these website urls in column-A to Column-B where I use Peekshot API with Google sheet formula, similar to how Logo.dev or clearbit etc offers an API formula to create website favicon in the go?
