## Description

A WordPress plugin that adds Bannerbear Signed URL functionality to WordPress sites.

### What is Bannerbear?

[Bannerbear](https://www.bannerbear.com/) is a SaaS service that auto-generates 
images, based on dynamic parameters that you send, and templates you have set up
on the Bannerbear back end.

### What does this plugin do?

This plugin provides an easy interface to add Bannerbear Signed URL images to your
WP theme.

Bannerbear Signed URLs are dynamic urls that _generate images on the fly_ based 
on templates. This plugin helps you map WP variables (title, date etc) to templates,
and then inserts those URLs into WP posts and pages.

One use case for this is auto-generating Open Graph images.

### Who is this plugin for?

This plugin requires a Bannerbear Scale or Enterprise account and is best suited
for agencies managing WordPress sites for multiple clients, or individual users 
with large WordPress sites.

### Usage

**Pre-requisite**: Create a Bannerbear project and add a template (or duplicate 
this [sample template](https://app.bannerbear.com/p/B2zYp0bOvEKD9J5mVZ)) to your
project.

 * Go to **Bannerbear Plugin**.
 * Select **“Add New”** and paste your Bannerbear Project [API Key](https://www.bannerbear.com/help/articles/64-where-do-i-get-my-api-key/).
 * Select a template from your list of templates.
 * This will automatically create and grab a [Signed URL Base](https://www.bannerbear.com/help/articles/179-generate-images-using-signed-urls/)
   from the template, and all available template modifications will be listed.

Each API modifiable layer will have a dropdown menu that can be mapped with fields
from the WordPress site. Select layers that you want to modify and choose where 
you want to apply the template/Signed URL.

You can then embed it as a shortcode/snippet or add as a Block on WordPress pages.
