Getting started with Little Eagle

You can use Little Eagle Images to generate images dynamically for Open Graph tags, email marketing, social media profile pages, your blog and websites, and much more.

You use Little Eagle by constructing a URL to our CDN with parameters for text content, font size, color, background image, and so on. Load this URL and you’ll receive an image. Change a parameter and you’ll receive a new image. This way you can present dynamic content and generate thousands of images without having to worry about the saving or storing of any those image files.

Little Eagle Images start from a base layout template and then pass in required query parameters as a HTTP GET request. Each request is signed with your project secret so that we know it’s you! We provide a JavaScript SDK to help construct these URLs — see below on how to install it.

Install

We provide the npm package @littleeagle/images-node to help generate your image URLs. You don’t have to use it, but it helps.

npm add @littleeagle/images-node
