• og_image_urlBuild a signed image URL for a saved template with the given text, ready to put in a page's <meta property="og:image"> tag. Nothing is rendered now: the image is generated when a crawler fetches the URL, cached at the ed
• get_usageThe API key's plan, whether renders are watermarked, and this month's image quota: used, remaining, and the reset date. Needs an API key. Check it before batch renders, or when a render came back watermarked unexpectedly
