# Ray - Code Screenshots

Generate code screenshots by calling the ray.tinte.dev API.

## API

```
POST https://ray.tinte.dev/api/v1/screenshot
Content-Type: application/json
```

## Parameters

| Param | Type | Default | Notes |
|-------|------|---------|-------|
| `code` | string | *required* | 1-10,000 chars |
| `language` | string | `"typescript"` | typescript, javascript, python, rust, go, java, cpp, c, html, css, json, bash, sql, markdown, toml |
| `theme` | string or TinteBlock | `"one-hunter"` | Slug from tinte.dev or inline object |
| `mode` | `"dark"` \| `"light"` | `"dark"` | |
| `padding` | number | `32` | 0-256 |
| `fontSize` | number | `14` | 8-32 |
| `lineNumbers` | boolean | `true` | |
| `title` | string | `""` | Window chrome title (max 100) |
| `background` | string | `"midnight"` | One of: midnight, sunset, ocean, forest, ember, steel, aurora, none. Hex colors are not accepted. |
| `format` | `"png"` | `"png"` | PNG only |
| `scale` | number | `2` | 1-4 (retina) |

## Notes

- `background: "none"` returns a transparent RGBA PNG. Useful when you want to composite the screenshot onto a custom background.
- Returned PNGs always include some transparent margin around the window for the drop shadow, even with `padding: 0`. If you're compositing the result, trim that halo first (e.g. `magick input.png -trim +repage output.png`).
- Long snippets can take 30-60+ seconds to render. Use a per-request timeout when calling from scripts or agents.

## Workflow

1. Identify the code to screenshot (from file, clipboard, or user input)
2. Detect language from file extension or content
3. Call the API via curl
4. Save the PNG and open it

## Example

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://ray.tinte.dev/api/v1/screenshot \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "code": "const greeting = \"Hello, world!\";",
    "language": "typescript",
    "theme": "one-hunter",
    "title": "hello.ts"
  }' -o screenshot.png && open screenshot.png
```
