Q: Can I have dynamic images and text via the Image Transformation API?
I have the following use case: I have an automation where I create articles with their featured images that I want to turn into social posts.
For this, I'd love to create a number of templates and dynamically pass through the image (ideally via the direct image URL) and the text for one template at a time.
Is this something that I could achieve with MarkupGo? I have to admit that I got inspired by Robolly to do this and it would be amazing if I could build my templates with your LTD instead :)
Yes, it looks like this is doable with our Magic Template URL feature. Once you’ve created your template, you can generate your images via a single URL by passing the parameters to it—no need to set up code or handle any developer tasks. Here’s the detailed documentation for this:
One more question. We use a software that generates a personalized PDF. I need to add a string of text to the pdf indicating the order number. For the API call can I send the PDF URL so that we upload it to your server and then add a text field on top of it with the order number? Please note that this is not a standard template PDF. Each PDF that we would provide the URL to in the API call would be a unique PDF generated by another piece of software. I would be connecting these via Zapier.
We have a specific need where we will need to generate around 10,000 pdfs in January and less than 1,000 all year round. Is there anything that might work for us instead of paying the equivalent of 10,000 pdf credits all year round? Also, if I understood from other users' questions it takes 3 credits to generate a PDF?
Yes, it is true; generating a PDF consumes 3 credits. For quota requests, please write to us at hello@markupgo.com, and we’ll do our best to assist you. 😊
1. Our API does not retrieve data from any source. This should be handled on your side when making API requests. 2. Yes, it is possible. Since you’re writing HTML and CSS, you can customize your templates based on your needs. 3. The PDF consumes 3 credits from your account if it is successfully generated. The page count does not affect the credit usage.

Q: Use a base PDF and just add text on top of it
