### 4\. Try a screenshot

Ask: “Create a dark, square screenshot of <https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2108321181602353333>”. The plugin uses your screenshot quota and returns a public, shareable PNG link.

The plugin can check quota and create screenshots of public posts. It cannot read private posts, summarize text, edit images, or publish to X.

Before creating screenshots, [create an API key](/settings/keys). Free accounts include 50 API credits; you do not need to paste the key into the plugin.

For other AI clients, use the [remote MCP server](/integrations/mcp-server). See our [Terms of Service](/tos) and [Privacy Policy](/privacy).
