Memeport

memeport

Need a meme, not a design project? memeport searches a catalogue of more than 25,000 meme templates hosted by Memeboat, lets you inspect a template before you commit to it, and captions it for you — returning the finished meme's page URL and its direct image URL, ready to share.

Captions follow the template's own boxes. One caption lands at the bottom, two become top and bottom, and any more fill the template's caption boxes in order. Each caption can be a plain string, or an object that styles just that caption: its text, a color, an outline, and a font. A top-level font sets the default for every caption, and layout: "top" moves the captions into a white bar above the image instead of overlaying them on the picture.

Colours are a hex value (#rgb or #rrggbb) or one of white, black, red, yellow, blue, green. Fonts are impact, arial, helvetica, times, courier, titillium, thick, kalam, comic, notosans, and notosanshebrew.

Configuration

No account and no API key: the Memeboat API is free and anonymous.

export MEMEBOAT_API_URL="https://memebo.at"   # optional override

Leave MEMEBOAT_API_URL unset to use the public instance at https://memebo.at.

CLI

Each subcommand takes a single JSON argument string:

npx @reneturcios/memeport search_meme_templates '{"query":"drake","limit":5}'

npx @reneturcios/memeport get_meme_template '{"slug":"drake-hotline-bling"}' npx @reneturcios/memeport create_meme '{"template":"drake-hotline-bling","texts":["no","yes"]}' npx @reneturcios/memeport create_meme '{"template":"two-buttons","texts":[{"text":"one","color":"#fff","font":"impact"}],"font":"arial","layout":"top"}' npx @reneturcios/memeport --version

Output is the upstream payload as JSON. Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on a runtime error (including a validation error or a non-2xx upstream response), 2 on a usage error.
