# Shareable Quote

A fancy blockquote for sharing.

Swap out the text and name in this example to create shareable images of quotes.  Adjust the background color by changing out #4adfcc in the CSS with another color.

This is a working HTML/CSS to Image API example that produces an image.
The rendered output, source, and non-content request parameters below show the parts needed to reproduce or adapt it.

## Rendered image and interactive editor

- [Open the rendered image](<https://hcti.io/v1/image/c222154a-8ac2-4bac-bb93-bc3c15a59312>)

## HTML

```html
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" id="bootstrap-css">

<blockquote class="quote-box p-2 m-2">
  <p class="quotation-mark">
    “
  </p>
  <p class="quote-text">
    Don't believe anything that you read on the internet, it may be fake.
  </p>
  <hr>
  <div class="blog-post-actions">
    <p class="blog-post-bottom pull-left">
      Benjamin Franklin
    </p>
    <p class="blog-post-bottom pull-right">
      <span class="badge quote-badge">567</span>  ❤
    </p>
  </div>
</blockquote>
```

## CSS

```css
blockquote {
  border-left: none;
}

body {
  background-color: transparent;
}

.quote-badge {
  background-color: rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

.quote-box {
  overflow: hidden;
  margin-top: -50px;
  padding-top: -100px;
  border-radius: 17px;
  background-color: #4adfcc;
  margin-top: 25px;
  color: white;
  width: 325px;
  box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 2px #e0e0e0;
}

.quotation-mark {
  margin-top: -10px;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 100px;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif;
}

.quote-text {
  font-size: 19px;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-top: -65px;
}

```

## Request parameters

These are the additional non-content parameters used by the example. Combine them with the HTML and CSS above when constructing an API request.

```json
{
  "render_when_ready": false
}
```

## Complete TypeScript request (fetch)

This is the complete TypeScript request for this example using fetch. It includes the HTML, CSS, authentication setup, API options, and response handling needed to reproduce the output.

```typescript
const apiId = process.env.HCTI_API_ID;
const apiKey = process.env.HCTI_API_KEY;
if (!apiId || !apiKey) {
    throw new Error("Missing HCTI_API_ID or HCTI_API_KEY");
}
const authorization = `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${apiId}:${apiKey}`).toString("base64")}`;

const request = {
    html: `<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" id="bootstrap-css">

<blockquote class="quote-box p-2 m-2">
  <p class="quotation-mark">
    “
  </p>
  <p class="quote-text">
    Don't believe anything that you read on the internet, it may be fake.
  </p>
  <hr>
  <div class="blog-post-actions">
    <p class="blog-post-bottom pull-left">
      Benjamin Franklin
    </p>
    <p class="blog-post-bottom pull-right">
      <span class="badge quote-badge">567</span>  ❤
    </p>
  </div>
</blockquote>`,
    css: `blockquote {
  border-left: none;
}

body {
  background-color: transparent;
}

.quote-badge {
  background-color: rgba(1, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

.quote-box {
  overflow: hidden;
  margin-top: -50px;
  padding-top: -100px;
  border-radius: 17px;
  background-color: #4adfcc;
  margin-top: 25px;
  color: white;
  width: 325px;
  box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 2px #e0e0e0;
}

.quotation-mark {
  margin-top: -10px;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 100px;
  color: white;
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif;
}

.quote-text {
  font-size: 19px;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-top: -65px;
}
`,
    render_when_ready: false,
};

const response = await fetch("https://hcti.io/v1/image", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        Authorization: authorization,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(request),
});
if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`HCTI request failed: ${response.status} ${await response.text()}`);
}
const result = await response.json() as { url: string };
console.log(result.url);

Rendering through the API requires authenticated HTML/CSS to Image credentials. Keep API keys in trusted server-side configuration. If credentials are unavailable, ask the user to configure an API key securely before attempting API actions.
