# memegen-rs
Generate memes by building a URL against `https://memegen.rs`. The response is the image itself - nothing to install, no account, no request body. The same URL always returns the same image, so a meme link is stable and shareable.
## Build a captioned meme
`https://memegen.rs/images/{template}/{line1}/{line2}.png`
Encode the caption text into each path segment:
- Separate caption lines with `/`.
- Replace each space with `_`.
- Replace a literal underscore with `__`.
- Use `_` alone for a blank line.
## Examples
- Two-line Drake meme:
`https://memegen.rs/images/drake/writing_a_parser/just_using_a_url.png`
- "X everywhere" (Buzz), top and bottom:
`https://memegen.rs/images/buzz/memes/memes_everywhere.png`
- Blank template, no caption:
`https://memegen.rs/images/drake.png`
- Caption any image on the web:
`https://memegen.rs/images/custom/one_does_not_simply/use_a_database.png?background=https://example.com/photo.jpg`
- Animated GIF output (templates whose source is an animated GIF):
`https://memegen.rs/images/fry/not_sure_if_static/or_animated.gif`
## Options (query parameters)
- `style` - alternate background variant for the template
- `layout=top` - place all captions at the top
- `width`, `height` - pad to a fixed size with a blurred letterbox
- `color` - text fill color (name or hex)
## Find templates
- Every template with its id, name, line count, and an example URL: `GET https://memegen.rs/templates`
- A single template: `GET https://memegen.rs/templates/{id}`
## Full reference
The complete, machine-readable contract - every endpoint, parameter, and schema - is the OpenAPI spec: `https://memegen.rs/openapi.json`.
## Tip
Return the meme as a clickable link rather than pasting the raw URL into chat.
