Example

Base64 response format

import { PikaSdk } from "pika-sdk";

const pikaSdk = new PikaSdk("sk-he2jdus1cbz1dpt4mktgjyvx");

let templateId = "open-graph-image-1";
let modifications = {
  title: "Pika.style",
  textColor: "",
  description: "Create Visuals and Automate Image Generation",
  backgroundImage: "",
  backgroundColor: "",
  width: "",
  height: "",
  aspectRatio: ""
}

const response = await pikaSdk.generateImageFromTemplate(templateId, modifications, "base64");
console.log(response);

console.log("Image base64:", response.data.base64);

Base64 output

data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABLAAAAJ2CAYAAABPQHtcAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAIABJREFUeJzs3XmYJXdZL/Bvna37dM90FghLCBAQkC1BCBAMShLFBJAgKnofroBeFUUF5LrhiihXcV8BQRYVUUAlIewIGPbFmLCFLWwCYZEtzPR+trp/TM/......

Binary response format

import { PikaSdk } from "pika-sdk";
import { createWriteStream } from 'fs';

const pikaSdk = new PikaSdk("sk-he2jdus1cbz1dpt4mktgjyvx");

let templateId = "open-graph-image-1";
let modifications = {
  title: "Pika.style",
  textColor: "",
  description: "Create Visuals and Automate Image Generation",
  backgroundImage: "",
  backgroundColor: "",
  width: "",
  height: "",
  aspectRatio: ""
}

const response = await pikaSdk.generateImageFromTemplate(templateId, modifications, "binary");
const arrayBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
const buffer = Buffer.from(arrayBuffer);

createWriteStream("og.png").write(buffer);

This example writes the binary image to the file og.png
