Example use cases
ASCII banner for CLI tool
“Generate an ASCII art banner that says 'DevTools' using the banner font style — I want to paste it at the top of my terminal app's startup output.”
Stylized name for README header
“Can you make an ASCII art version of 'OpenAgent' in the block font so I can put it at the top of my GitHub README?”
Fun greeting card text art
“Turn the text 'Happy Birthday' into ASCII art using the standard font — I want to paste it into a message for a friend.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://whatchuneed.vercel.app/api/art/asciiWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call ASCII art generation without managing your own figlet/font library. Ideal for agents that occasionally need text art for README headers, CLI banners, or creative text outputs, and want to avoid standing up a dedicated text-art service.
Side effects
- Missing required 'text' field returns an error
- Unsupported or misspelled font name may fall back to default or return an error
- Very long text strings may produce oversized or malformed art
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout on the hosted Vercel endpoint
