An API to generate meme images based solely on requested URLs.
Visit http://memegen.link/api to browse the API and view examples.
MemeGen URLs contain all the information necessary to generate the image. For example, http://memegen.link/buzz/memes/memes-everywhere.jpg produces:
But, the site can also produce masked URLs to conceal the joke:
http://memegen.link/_YnV6egltZW1lcy9tZW1lcy1ldmVyeXdoZXJl.jpg
For any MemeGen image, lose the extension to see a list of all format options:
http://memegen.link/buzz/memes/memes-everywhere
In URLs, spaces can be inserted using dashes or underscores:
- dash (
-) → space ( - underscore (
_) → space ( - dashes (
--) → dash (-) - underscores (
__) → underscore (_)
Reserved URL characters can be escaped:
- tilde + Q (
~q) → question mark (?) - tilde + P (
~p) → percentage (%) - 2 single qutoes (
'') → double quote (")
For example: http://memegen.link/doge/special-characters~q/underscore__-dash--.jpg
Some memes come in multiple forms, which can be selected via ?alt=<style>:
For example: http://memegen.link/sad-biden/sad-joe-biden/doesn't-think-you'll-vote.jpg?alt=scowl
