## Design JSON (this variant)

```json
{
  "title": "Circle sample",
  "description": "A dynamic colored circle",
  "dimensions": {
    "width": 800,
    "height": 420
  },
  "background": {
    "color": "#ffffff"
  },
  "components": [
    {
      "id": "sample-circle",
      "key": "badge",
      "type": "circle",
      "position": {
        "x": 376,
        "y": 186
      },
      "rotation": 0,
      "size": {
        "width": 48,
        "height": 48
      },
      "dynamic": true,
      "properties": {

      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Examples

### All-systems-operational dot

A softly glowing green dot for the header of an imagined status-page snapshot.

API overrides that reproduce this example:

```json
{
  "badge.fillColor": "#10B981",
  "badge.boxShadow": "0 0 16px rgba(16,185,129,0.7)"
}
```

### Incident alert dot

A red alert dot on a dark ops-dashboard canvas flagging an imagined degraded service.

API overrides that reproduce this example:

```json
{
  "badge.fillColor": "#EF4444",
  "badge.boxShadow": "0 0 16px rgba(239,68,68,0.7)"
}
```

## API overrides

Recolor per render with '<key>.fillColor' (or just '<key>'); opacity and borderColor are overridable too.

Flat override payload (`key.property` addressing) with the sample design's current values — send only the keys you want to change:

```json
{
  "badge.fillColor": "#F59E0B",
  "badge.opacity": 1
}
```

```bash
curl --location 'https://render.imejis.io/v1/{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}' \
--header 'dma-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "badge.fillColor": "#F59E0B",
    "badge.opacity": 1
}'
```

`{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}` and `{{YOUR_API_KEY}}` are placeholders: first create
the design in your account (paste the sample design JSON above into the
editor at https://app.imejis.io, or create it programmatically via the
imejis MCP server's `create_design` + `update_design` tools), then render
it with the design's id and one of your API keys.

Agents: the MCP server at https://api.imejis.io/api/mcp exposes this same
catalog as structured data via the `list_component_types` tool (property
kinds, allowed values, bounds, ready-to-use sample designs).
