## Examples

### Like milestone badge

A pink heart for a "10K likes" celebration graphic posted when a milestone is hit.

API overrides that reproduce this example:

```json
{
  "star.path": "M 50 88 C 22 66 6 48 6 30 C 6 15 17 6 29 6 C 38 6 46 11 50 19 C 54 11 62 6 71 6 C 83 6 94 15 94 30 C 94 48 78 66 50 88 Z",
  "star.fillColor": "#EC4899",
  "star.strokeColor": "transparent"
}
```

### Wellness heart on dark

A soft coral heart as the focal mark of a dark health-app weekly summary image.

API overrides that reproduce this example:

```json
{
  "star.path": "M 50 88 C 22 66 6 48 6 30 C 6 15 17 6 29 6 C 38 6 46 11 50 19 C 54 11 62 6 71 6 C 83 6 94 15 94 30 C 94 48 78 66 50 88 Z",
  "star.fillColor": "#F87171",
  "star.strokeColor": "transparent"
}
```

## API overrides

Recolor per render with '<key>.fillColor' (or just '<key>'); strokeColor, strokeWidth and even the path are overridable.

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

```json
{
  "star.path": "M 50 5 L 61 38 L 95 38 L 68 59 L 79 92 L 50 70 L 21 92 L 32 59 L 5 38 L 39 38 Z",
  "star.viewBox": "0 0 100 100",
  "star.fillColor": "#F5A623",
  "star.strokeColor": "#D0021B",
  "star.strokeWidth": 0,
  "star.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 '{
    "star.path": "M 50 5 L 61 38 L 95 38 L 68 59 L 79 92 L 50 70 L 21 92 L 32 59 L 5 38 L 39 38 Z",
    "star.viewBox": "0 0 100 100",
    "star.fillColor": "#F5A623",
    "star.strokeColor": "#D0021B",
    "star.strokeWidth": 0,
    "star.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).
