The tweet2image API

POST a tweet link to /api/v1/render with an API key and get the image back — the same card, themes, backgrounds and sizes as this site, rendered by the same code, so what your integration produces is pixel-identical to what the web tool shows. The full parameter reference lives in the OpenAPI document at /api/v1/openapi.json.

Paste a link above to see the preview here.

Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer t2i_…`. Every option on this site is a JSON field: format, ratio, theme, background, gradient, padding, radius, watermark and the rest. A simple GET variant takes the same options as query parameters for one-line integrations. Keys come with a Pro or Business subscription.

Pricing

The web tool on every page here is unlimited on every plan, free included. Paid plans are for the API — the same renders, requested by your own code from /api/v1/render.

Your API key is shown once after checkout — store it safely. Renders over quota return HTTP 429 with your usage; nothing is billed on top. Cancel any time in the Polar customer portal.

Questions

How do I get an API key?
API access is part of the Pro and Business plans. Your key arrives when you subscribe; it is shown once, so store it in a secrets manager. Only a hash of it is kept on our side.
Is the API output identical to the web tool?
Yes, by construction: the API drives the same renderer as this page rather than a server-side reimplementation, so there is no second code path that could drift.
What are the rate limits and quotas?
Pro includes 500 render units a month at up to 60 per minute; Business includes 5,000 at up to 240 per minute. An image is 1 unit; video costs more because it costs us more to produce — GIF 5, WebM 15, MP4 20. Pro can have 2 video renders running at once, Business 4. Every limit returns HTTP 429 with your current usage in the body.
Can I render videos through the API?
Not yet. Video rendering is planned as a v1-compatible extension — a format value, not a new API — and Business plans will get webhook callbacks for those longer async jobs.
