A4 landscape at 96 dpi for POST /v1/pdfs: a framed certificate with the recipient's name in a serif face, the course, the date and a signature line.

Make it yours

Copy the starter into your account once; from then on it is a template id you render with new variables. Creating and reading templates is free.

curl -s https://api.imageapis.com/v1/starters/certificate -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY' | jq .template > certificate.json
curl -X POST https://api.imageapis.com/v1/templates -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @certificate.json
# → { "id": "tpl_…", "object": "template", … }

Change any layer by name at render time with modifications, or change the design itself in the editor and save it back with PUT /v1/templates/<id>.
