API Overview and Authentication

The Templated API allows you to programmatically generate images, PDFs, and videos from your templates.

Base URL

All API requests are made to:

https://api.templated.io/v1/

Authentication

Templated uses Bearer token authentication. Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Example Request

fetch('https://api.templated.io/v1/render', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    template: 'TEMPLATE_ID',
    layers: {
      title: { text: 'Hello World' }
    }
  })
});
