uses IdHTTP, Classes;
var
HTTP: TIdHTTP;
Stream: TMemoryStream;

Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
HTTP.Request.CustomHeaders.Add('X-KEY: your-api-key');
HTTP.Get('https://api.scrnpix.com/screenshot?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&width=1280&height=720&format=png', Stream);
Stream.SaveToFile('screenshot.png');
finally

end;
end;uses IdHTTP, Classes;
var
HTTP: TIdHTTP;
Stream: TMemoryStream;
begin
HTTP := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
HTTP.Request.CustomHeaders.Add('X-KEY: your-api-key');
HTTP.Get('https://api.scrnpix.com/animate?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&scroll_duration=3000&scroll_easing=ease-in-out', Stream);
