New: Contentdrips API for Carousel & Graphics Creation

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

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
Content-Type: application/json

Main Endpoint

POST http://generate.contentdrips.com/render

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:

1. Open your template in Contentdrips
2. Right-click on a textbox or image
3. 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 and it will return you a job ID.
