Render from a template

response = client.render_from_template({
  'template_id' => 'open-graph-image-1',
  'modifications' => {'title': 'From ruby sdk new'},
  'response_type' => 'base64',
  'response_format' => 'png'
})

Generate a Signed URL

response = client.generate_signed_url({
  'template_id' => 'open-graph-image-1',
  'modifications' => {'title': 'From ruby sdk new'},
  'render_type' => 'images',
  'response_format' => 'png',
  'expires_at': 1744276943
})

Example

`base64` response format

require 'orshot'
client = Orshot::Client.new('<ORSHOT_API_KEY>')
response = client.render_from_template({
  'template_id' => 'open-graph-image-1', 
  'modifications' => {'title': 'From ruby sdk new'}, 
  'response_type' => 'base64', 
  'response_format' => 'png'
})

`binary` response format

require 'orshot'

client = Orshot::Client.new('<ORSHOT_API_KEY>')

File.open("og.png", "w") do |file|
  response = client.render_from_template({
    'template_id' => 'open-graph-image-1',
    'modifications' => {'title': 'From ruby sdk new'},
    'response_type' => 'binary',
    'response_format' => 'png'
  })
  file.binmode
  file.write(response)
end

Data is written to the file og.png
