I suppose this is satire? I mean, how would I call such an API to make any changes to the application state? Create an image of the effect that I would like to see? Am I missing here, or is the joke just lost on me?

If this is serious and the idea is to use this only for quick and dirty read-only access, I'll stick to my time-tested "select+copy" API for now. Usually does a better job at extracting what I care about (particularly for content longer than one screen page). Yes, app owners can make that harder if they want to, but the same is true for screenshots.
