Dynamic Text Overlays & Templates

Why Use the Templates API?

When scaling marketing campaigns, statically rendering hundreds of banners manually is impossible. The Templates API allows you to take any base image (AI-generated or uploaded), and overlay dynamic text (like names, discount codes, or headlines) and unique QR codes on the fly.

• Zero-Latency Processing: Text and QR composition occurs in memory with single-digit millisecond overhead.
• Dynamic QR Codes: Generate personalized QR codes for ticket sales or abandoned cart emails instantly.
• Marketing Automation Ready: Easily integrates with Webhooks for Make.com and n8n pipelines.

API Implementation

Send a POST request to /api/templates/render to generate a personalized banner.

curl -X POST https://api.creativeai.run/api/templates/render \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "background_image_url": "https://example.com/base-banner.jpg",
    "texts": [
      {
        "text": "Hey Dylan, here is 50% off!",
        "x": 100,
        "y": 200,
        "font_size": 48,
        "color": "#FFFFFF"
      },
      {
        "text": "USE CODE: VIP2026",
        "x": 100,
        "y": 280,
        "font_size": 32,
        "color": "#FFD700"
      }
    ],
    "qr_code": {
      "data": "https://creativeai.run/vip/dylan",
      "x": 800,
      "y": 150,
      "size": 200
    },
    "webhook_url": "https://hook.us1.make.com/your-webhook-id"
  }'

The API returns an async Job ID. Once rendered, the system pushes the final output_url to your Webhook instantly.
