Hi , Im new her any help how can i apply ShotStack with Google Script . thank You !
You can use the UrlFetchApp class. This allows you to send POST requests.
The below uses the templates/render endpoint.
const url = "https://api.shotstack.io/v1/templates/render";
const payload = {
id: "be86bfc2-a19b-4ab6-aa6c-f70242a388fc",
merge: [
{
find: "name",
replace: "Noure"
}
]
};
const options = {
"method": "post",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
},
"payload": JSON.stringify(payload)
};
function render() {
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
console.log(response.getContentText());
}

Thank You Sir ! *
i tried the same Script But i get This Error response : I tried [Create Template method]
Exception: Request failed for https://api.shotstack.io returned code 403. Truncated server response: {“message”:“Forbidden”} (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response)
note *: i Change the key api and the ID but i get Error
What url are you using? Normally 403 error have to do with using the wrong url or API key.

[Your App must Be on the Top 1]
Could you share your code? Just make sure to obscure your API key.

Yes !
here is My Api Key : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Please don’t share your API key publicly. This may lead to it being abused and you losing your credits.
Can you share the code you’re using with Google Script? I can take a look at what may be the issue. Just make sure to not include your API key.

Re-Hi 
Any idéa how to solve this Problem .
thank You
Thanks for the bump I completely missed your last reply.
I checked your code and template and you appear to want to replace a {{name}} variable in the template.
const payload = {
id: "36158755-b022-4f63-b438-d2a123160dae",
merge: [
{
find: "name",
replace: "RestaurentPost"
}
]
};
However your variable doesn’t contain a merge variable. If you wanted to declare that variable in your template you could add it as follows:
{
"clips": [{
"asset": {
"type": "html",
"html": "<p>{{name}}</p>",
"css": "p { font-family:'Barlow ExtraBold'; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 68px; text-align: center; }",
"width": 800,
"height": 140
},
"start": 0.8,
"length": 2.2,
"offset": {
"y": -0.13
},
"transition": {
"in": "slideUp",
"out": "fade"
}
}]
}
This will allow you to run the code you’re using and replace the {{name}} variable with the contents of the replace property; in this case RestaurentPost.
