 ## [Unreleased]
 Added `get-results` command. It fetches the computed results and custom data of a reconciliation or account in a live company file (identified by its Silverfin URL) and prints them as JSON. Usage: `silverfin get-results -u <url>`. Supports `-o, --output <file>` to write the JSON to a file instead of stdout.
 
+Added `capture` command. It captures a live company file's data as JSON. By default it captures the template at the URL and its dependencies (scoped); `--full` captures company/period/reconciliation customs and results across all periods. Usage: `silverfin capture -u <url> [--full]`. Supports `-o, --output <file>`.
+
 ## [1.56.1] (08/06/2026)
 Increase the waiting time for the test runs to avoid timeout errors.
