Can I capture only a specific part of a webpage?

Yes! Use the `render_selector` tool. Provide the URL and the CSS selector (e.g., #my-chart) to capture only that specific element instead of the whole page.

How do I see how many credits I have left?

Run the `get_credit_usage` query. Your agent will retrieve your current credit balance and monthly rendering metrics directly from Urlbox.

Can this tool convert a URL directly to PDF?

Absolutely. Use the `capture_pdf` tool by providing the URL. You can also specify an optional page size like 'A4' or 'Letter'.
