generate_video
Generate a video from one or more Placid templates used as clips. Each clip is a template populated with dynamic layer data including text, images, and video files. Clips are merged sequentially. Supports audio tracks, frame rate control, and resolution settings. The generated video can be transferred to S3-compatible storage.
manage_collections
List, retrieve, create, update, or delete template collections. Collections organize templates into groups for easier management. You can add or remove templates from collections.
get_generation_status
Check the status of a previously queued image, PDF, or video generation. Returns the current status and the output URL when generation is complete.
generate_image
Generate an image from a Placid template by populating its dynamic layers with data. Supports text, images, shapes, browser screenshots, barcodes/QR codes, and ratings. The generated image can optionally be transferred to S3-compatible storage. Use `create_now` for synchronous generation or poll the returned status for async results.
manage_templates
List, retrieve, create, update, or delete Placid design templates. Templates define reusable layouts with dynamic layers that can be populated with data during image, PDF, or video generation.
generate_pdf
Generate a PDF document from one or more Placid templates used as pages. Each page is a template populated with dynamic layer data. Pages are merged in the order provided. Supports output customization for DPI, color mode, and image quality. The generated PDF can be transferred to S3-compatible storage.
merge_pdfs
Merge multiple existing PDF files into a single PDF document. Useful for combining static PDFs (e.g., cover pages) with Placid-generated content. The merged PDF can be transferred to S3-compatible storage.
Generate images, PDFs, and videos from reusable design templates populated with dynamic data. Create and manage templates and collections, configure dynamic layers (text, images, shapes, barcodes, QR codes, ratings, browser screenshots), and produce visuals at scale. Upload media files for use in generations, generate images on the fly via URL-based rendering, and transfer outputs to Amazon S3-compatible storage. Supports webhook callbacks for asynchronous generation completion notifications.
