Do you keep a copy of the PDF?

Only briefly. Without caching, artifacts are deleted after a short window. If you need to keep it, send it to your own bucket.

Can I capture a page that redirects?

Yes. Redirects are followed up to ten hops, each revalidated against the egress policy, and the final URL is reported back.

Is the capture timestamped?

Yes — accepted_at and completed_at are in the request log and in GET /v1/requests/{id}.

Archive a webpage as a PDF you can keep

When a PDF is a record, the file alone is not enough — you need what was captured, from where, and when.
