I have a template which shows a product with marketing phrases at the bottom right corner. I want to apply this template on other product images where I will provide new marketing phrases relevant to that product and I want it applied in a similar fashion at the bottom right corner of the image. I want to do this using API. How can I do that? ---

Hi @ashwin.kambli , That’s a great question. Do you have any image examples you’d be able to provide? That would be extremely useful. Thank you! ---

Absolutely!! Here is the template. ![Yoga Pants Template-Photoroom](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/photoroom/original/1X/828bd8da859d93b36760294a261e6faa856c4b58.jpeg) I would then provide another similar image and would I want to apply the template to it. I’ll provide 3 phrases such as: “Super comfortable!!”, “Stretchy!!” and “Trendy!!”. I want to overlay these 3 phrases on the provided image at the same position as in the template, using the same font, etc. ---

I see that I can render using a template using the v1 API. But, I don’t see how we can send custom text to that API which will replace the text in the template. ---

Hi @ashwin.kambli , To follow up: You can now use the API with templates by applying a predefined design to an existing image. To use templates, you need to include three main parameters in your API call: 1. **apiKey** : Your personal Photoroom API key. 2. **templateId** : The identifier of the template you want to apply. This ID is either obtained from one of the default templates provided or created from your own custom template through the PhotoRoom web app (by creating, turning it into a template, and sharing it). 3. **imageUrl** : The URL of the image that will be processed. In practice, you integrate the API by taking your existing image URL and adding it (as the last parameter) to the API call which includes the apiKey and templateId. This simple structure enables the API to automatically apply the specific template to your image. Let me know if this doesn’t work for the flow we went through? Best, ---

Hi Allie, This is what is currently available. But, what I want to be able to do is replace items in the template: for example, replace the subject with the subject from the image, replace the text, etc. What I got from the call was that you are still a few weeks away from making that available through APIs. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks, Ashwin ---

Hi @teamMaid , Would you be able to share the templateID along with the params you’re using? We will be able to take a look at this closer for you. Thanks for flagging. ---
