Bannerbear Templates and Template Sets API

openapi: 3.0.1

  title: Bannerbear API
  description: >-
    The Bannerbear API auto-generates images and videos from reusable templates.
    A request applies an array of modifications (text, image, and color layer
    changes) to a template and renders the output. Most create operations are
    asynchronous, returning 202 Accepted; results are delivered via webhook
    callback or retrieved by polling the resource endpoint. Synchronous variants
    are available on the sync host for images, collections, and screenshots.
