Laravel Integration

You can easily use this in a Laravel Controller or Job.

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $client = new \FlashCapture\Client(env('RAPID_API_KEY'));
    
    // Start the job asynchronously
    $jobId = $client->capture($request->input('url'));
    
    // Dispatch a Laravel Job to check status later
    CheckScreenshotStatus::dispatch($jobId)->delay(now()->addSeconds(5));
    
    return response()->json(['job_id' => $jobId]);
}
