# Generate Social Card
Content platforms and developer blogs use this recipe to generate an Open Graph image for social sharing. Define a canvas with your brand background and render the article title, description, and site name — ready for an og:image meta tag with a consistent, eye-catching preview.
## APIs Used
Image Generation (1 credits/request)
## Prerequisites
You need an Iteration Layer API key. Get one at [platform.iterationlayer.com](https://platform.iterationlayer.com) during the 7-day trial.
For full integration guidance (SDKs, auth, MCP, error handling), see the [Iteration Layer Integration Guide](https://iterationlayer.com/SKILL.md).
## Implementation
```bash
curl -X POST \
https://api.iterationlayer.com/image-generation/v1/render \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
