Browsing Templates

Before generating a meme, browse the API to find the right template. Don't just guess — fetch the list.

List all templates:

bash
curl -s https://api.memegen.link/templates/ | jq '.[] | {id, name}'

Search for a template by keyword:

bash
curl -s https://api.memegen.link/templates/ | jq '.[] | select(.name | test("keyword"; "i")) | {id, name}'

Get details and example URL for a specific template:

bash
curl -s https://api.memegen.link/templates/{id}

Always browse first if the user asks for a specific vibe or if you're unsure which template fits best.

Generating a Meme

  1. Browse templates from the API to pick the best fit
  2. Encode the text (underscores for spaces, special char codes)
  3. Keep text short — 2-6 words per line for readability
  4. Build the URL and verify with curl:
bash
curl -s -o meme.png "https://api.memegen.link/images/{template}/{top}/{bottom}.png"
  1. Read the downloaded image to display it to the user

Options

Parameter Example
Width ?width=800
Height ?height=600
Layout ?layout=top or ?layout=bottom
Format .png, .jpg, .webp, .gif

Custom Background Image

https://api.memegen.link/images/custom/{top}/{bottom}.png?style=https://example.com/image.jpg

Workflow

  1. Understand the vibe/context from the user
  2. Browse templates from the API — don't assume a template exists, verify it
  3. Pick the right template (match template meaning to the joke)
  4. Write short punchy text
  5. Download the image with curl
  6. Read the image file to show it inline
  7. Clean up the file after if needed

Examples

bash
# deployment humor
curl -s -o meme.png "https://api.memegen.link/images/fine/servers_on_fire/this_is_fine.png"

# code review
curl -s -o meme.png "https://api.memegen.link/images/fry/not_sure_if_bug/or_feature.png"
