SnapOG — Social Image Generation

Generate OG images, social cards, and marketing visuals from professionally designed templates. Returns pixel-perfect PNGs in under 100ms.

Core Workflows

1. List templates and discover parameters

curl https://api.snapog.dev/v1/templates

Returns all templates with their paramSchema (parameter names, types, required fields, defaults). Always call this first if the user hasn't specified a template.

2. Generate an image (POST)

Use this for downloading images or advanced options:

curl -X POST https://api.snapog.dev/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SNAPOG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "template": "blog-post",
    "params": {
      "title": "Building with MCP",
      "author": "Taylor",
      "tags": ["AI", "Tools"],
      "accentColor": "#6366f1"
    }
  }' \
  --output og-image.png

POST body fields:

• template (string, required) — template ID
• params (object, required) — template parameters
• width (number) — image width in pixels (default: 1200)
• height (number) — image height in pixels (default: 630)
• format ("png" | "svg" | "pdf") — output format (default: png)
• fontFamily (string) — any Google Font family name
• webhook_url (string) — URL to POST when generation completes

Save the response body directly to a .png file. The response Content-Type is image/png.

3. Generate via URL (GET)

Use this when the user needs a URL to embed in HTML meta tags, markdown, or anywhere an image URL is needed:

https://api.snapog.dev/v1/og/blog-post?title=Building+with+MCP&author=Taylor&tags=AI,Tools

This URL itself serves the image. Parameters are query strings. Requires Authorization header or a signed URL.

4. Preview a template (no auth needed)

curl https://api.snapog.dev/v1/preview/blog-post --output preview.png

Renders the template with its default parameters. Useful for showing the user what a template looks like before customizing.

5. Create a signed URL (for meta tags)

Signed URLs let you embed images in tags without exposing the API key:

curl -X POST https://api.snapog.dev/v1/sign \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SNAPOG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "template": "blog-post",
    "params": { "title": "My Post" },
    "expiresIn": 86400
  }'

Returns { "url": "https://api.snapog.dev/v1/og/blog-post?title=...&token=..." }. This URL works without authentication and can be placed directly in HTML:

<meta property="og:image" content="SIGNED_URL_HERE" />

6. Batch generate (multiple sizes)

Generate the same image in multiple sizes at once:

curl -X POST https://api.snapog.dev/v1/batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SNAPOG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "template": "blog-post",
    "params": { "title": "My Post" },
    "sizes": ["og", "twitter", "farcaster", "instagram-square"]
  }'

Size presets: og (1200x630), twitter (1200x628), farcaster (1200x800), instagram-square (1080x1080), instagram-story (1080x1920), linkedin (1200x627), facebook (1200x630), pinterest (1000x1500).

Common Parameters

Most templates accept these shared parameters:

• title (string, required) — main heading
• accentColor (color) — theme color, e.g. #6366f1
• logo (url) — logo image URL
• fontFamily (string) — any Google Font, e.g. "Space Grotesk"

Each template has additional specific parameters. Call /v1/templates to see the full schema for any template.

Tips

• Choosing a template: Match the content type — blog-post for articles, announcement for launches, github-repo for OSS projects, stats for metrics, quote for testimonials.
• Colors: Pass hex colors like #6366f1. Most templates support accentColor for theming.
• Arrays: For tags and changes, pass as JSON arrays: ["tag1", "tag2"].
• Stats: The stats template expects a JSON array: [{"label": "Users", "value": "10K"}].
• Images: For logo, image, authorImage — pass a publicly accessible URL.
• Output: Default is 1200x630 PNG (standard OG image size). Use width/height to customize.
• Formats: Use "svg" for vector output, "pdf" for print-ready documents.
