Creatomate API

Cloud API for generating and editing video and images programmatically. Creatomate uses a JSON-based format called RenderScript to define video/image compositions.

Quick Start

const Creatomate = require('creatomate');
const client = new Creatomate.Client('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Render from a template
const renders = await client.render({
  templateId: 'your-template-id',
  modifications: {
    'Title': 'Hello World',
    'Text 1': 'Dynamic content here'
  }
});

// Or build from source
const source = new Creatomate.Source({
  outputFormat: 'mp4',
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  elements: [
    new Creatomate.Video({ source: 'https://...' }),
    new Creatomate.Text({ text: 'Overlay text' })
  ]
});
const renders = await client.render({ source });
