  title: Creatomate Renders Templates API
  description: REST API for the Creatomate media-automation platform. Generate videos and images at scale by applying per-element modifications to reusable templates. Renders run asynchronously; callers poll for status or receive a webhook when each render reaches a terminal state. All requests are authenticated with a project API key sent as a Bearer token.
