How to Implement Typesetting via the API
Every setting that controls the typesetting functionality needs to be defined under a new text key at the top level. To avoid any encoding problems, the actual text content has to be converted into base64 format. This base64-encoded string must then be used as the value for the text parameter.
Here is an example of a JSON request showcasing all the typesetting parameters available:
{
"text": {
"text": "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQK",
"size": 80,
"weight": "bold",
"font": "DejaVu Serif",
"style": "italic",
"color": "#ff5a00",
"opacity": 0.5,
"align": "top-right",
"padding": 50,
"letter_spacing": 15,
"background": "00000080",
"border_size": 3,
"border_color": "ffffff",
"shadow_size": 20,
"shadow_offset": [10]
}
