Bannerbear Howto

Sign up for a Bannerbear account: Go to bannerbear.com and create a free account to get started with 30 API credits. No credit card is required for the trial.

Create a template: Use Bannerbear's template editor to create a graphic template with placeholders for text, images, etc. that you want to dynamically generate.

Get your API key: Find your API key in your Bannerbear account settings. You'll need this to authenticate API requests.

Make an API request: Use the Bannerbear API to generate an image by sending a POST request with your template ID and modifications (e.g. text to insert). You can use the API directly or via official libraries for Ruby, Node, PHP.

Retrieve the generated image: The API will return URLs for the generated JPG and PNG versions of your image that you can then use in your application.

Set up integrations (optional): Connect Bannerbear to tools like Zapier, Airtable, or WordPress to automate image generation without coding.

Create automated workflows: Use the API or integrations to set up automated workflows that generate images when triggered by events in your other tools and systems.
