Imgflip

Overview

Imgflip’s API lists meme templates and generates captioned memes — keyless for the public endpoints (verified live).

Quick Start

Meme templates (verified live):

curl "https://api.imgflip.com/get_memes"

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "memes": [
      { "id": "61579", "name": "One Does Not Simply", "url": "https://i.imgflip.com/1bij.jpg", "width": 568, "height": 335 }
    ]
  }
}

Caption a meme (boxes are {text} strings):

curl -X POST "https://api.imgflip.com/caption_image" \
  -d "template_id=61579&username=YOUR_USER&password=YOUR_PASS&text0=One%20does%20not%20simply&text1=test%20an%20API"

{ "success": true, "data": { "url": "https://i.imgflip.com/xxxxx.jpg" } }

Authentication

• Listing memes: none (keyless, verified).
• Captioning: a free Imgflip account (username/password in POST).

• Free; the caption endpoint is rate-limited per user.
• get_memes returns 100+ templates with IDs — the classic meme-maker building block.
• Captioned images are hosted on i.imgflip.com (hotlink-friendly).
