ScreenshotOne takes pictures of existing web pages. It can't create new documents from templates and data.
There's no way to merge JSON data into a template. To generate unique documents, you'd need to host HTML pages yourself.
ScreenshotOne charges $259/month for 50,000 screenshots. cloudlayer.io offers 50,000 documents at $199/month.
