Watch out for

SSRF vulnerabilities can expose internal services, so strictly validate the domain against a whitelist before making the request.
API rate limits may throttle your workflow during high traffic, add exponential backoff logic to handle retries gracefully.
ScreenshotMachine requires valid public URLs, ensure you reject localhost or private IP addresses to avoid silent failures.
Large images can cause memory issues in some environments, set a reasonable timeout and image size limit in the API call.
