## CSS

```css

body {
  background-color: #FFE86E !important;
}


.speech-bubble-ds {
  color: #FFFFFF;
  background: #000000;
  border: 1px solid #ffffff;
  border-radius: 16px;
  box-shadow: 4px 4px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  line-height: 1.3;
  margin: 0 auto 40px;
  max-width: 400px;
  padding: 15px;
  position: relative;

  p {
    margin-bottom: 10px;

    :last-of-type {
      margin-bottom: 0;
    }
  }
}

.speech-bubble-ds__arrow {
  border-left: 21px solid transparent;
  border-top: 20px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  bottom: -25px;
  position: absolute;
  right: 200px;

  &::before {
    border-left: 23px solid transparent;
    border-top: 23px solid #a7a7a7;
    bottom: 2px;
    content: "";
    position: absolute;

## 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 Go request (net/http)

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

```go
package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "net/http"
    "os"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    request := map[string]any{
        "html": `
