Arcade toolkit · docs.arcade.dev
Arcade's Imgflip toolkit lets LLMs interact with the Imgflip API to discover meme templates and generate captioned memes programmatically.
Capabilities
- Template discovery — retrieve the most popular meme templates ordered by usage, or search Imgflip's database of 1M+ templates by keyword to find specific themes or niche formats
- Meme creation — generate a captioned meme from any template ID, with control over top/bottom text, font choice, and text sizing
- Template metadata — every result surfaces the template ID, name, preview URL, and caption count, making it easy to chain discovery into creation
