This is a conceptual migration, not a drop-in API swap.
- 01 Map Urlbox image, viewport, full-page, and timing options to Capturewell capture fields.
- 02 Move PDF, video, extraction, proxy, and custom-script workloads elsewhere because Capturewell does not claim them.
- 03 Replace Urlbox render links with Capturewell API-key authentication and capture resources.
