You can now use the Contentdrips API to create carousels and static graphics using code. This makes it easy to automate content creation using Make, Zapier, n8n, or your own custom scripts.

Create Your API Token
To use the API, you’ll need an API token.
Create or manage your token here: https://app.contentdrips.com/api-management
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Add this token in the Authorization header when making requests.
Authorization
The API uses bearer tokens. You must include this in your headers:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
And also:
Content-Type: application/json
Branding
You can add your name, handle, bio, website, and avatar in the request.
These are auto-applied to templates that use branding placeholders.
Example format:
"branding": {
"name": "Jane Doe",
"handle": "@janedoe",
"bio": "Founder at Something",
"website_url": "https://janedoe.com",
"avatar_image_url": "https://link.com/avatar.jpg"
}
Content Update
To change text or images in a template, you need to label them first.
How to do it:
- Open your template in Contentdrips
- Right-click on a textbox or image
- Click “Add Label” and name it (e.g.
title_1
,hashtag_1
)
Then send your updates like this:
"content_update": [
{
"type": "textbox",
"label": "hashtag_1",
"value": "#growwithme"
}
]
Create Carousels with API
You can create a full multi-slide carousel with a single request.
Just pass the intro slide, content slides, and an ending slide in the payload.
