## Get started (5 minutes)

Haven't registered your website yet? Go to [Flyyer.io](https://flyyer.io?ref=flyyer-python) and create a project (e.g. `website-com`).

### 1. Install the library

This module requires Python >= 3.6.

Install it with [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/).

```sh
poetry add flyyer
```

Or install it with [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/).

```sh
pip install flyyer
```

### 2. Get your Flyyer.io smart image link

In your website code (e.g. your landing or product/post view file), set the following:

```python
from flyyer import Flyyer

flyyer = Flyyer(
# Your project slug
project="website-com",
# The current path of your website
path="/path/to/product", # In Django you can use {{ request.get_full_path }}
# (Optional, Recommended) Default or main image for each page
default="/static/image-1.png" # or https://your-site.com/static/image-1.png
)

# Check:
print(flyyer.href())
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/v2/website-com/_/__v=1618281823&_def=%2Fstatic%2Fimage-1.png/path/to/product
```

### 3. Put your smart image link in your `` tags

You'll get the best results like this:

```python

```

### 4. Create a `rule` for your project

Go to your dashboard [here](https://flyyer.io/dashboard/_/projects/_/manage) and create a rule like the following:

[![Flyyer basic rule example](https://github.com/useflyyer/create-flyyer-app/blob/master/.github/assets/rule-example.png?raw=true&v=1)](https://flyyer.io/dashboard)

Voilà!

## Advanced usage

Advanced features include:

- Custom variables: additional information for your preview that is not present in your website. [Note: if you need customization you should take a look at [Flyyer Render](#flyyer-render)]
- Custom metadata: set custom width, height, resolution, and more (see example).
- Signed URLs.

Here you have a detailed full example for project `website-com` and path `/path/to/product`.

```python
from flyyer import Flyyer, FlyyerMeta

flyyer = Flyyer(
# [Required] Your project slug, find it in your dashboard https://www.flyyer.io/dashboard/_/projects/_/integrate.
project="website-com",
# [Recommended] The current path of your website (by default it's `/`).
path="/path/to/product",
# [Optional] In case you want to provide information that is not present in your page set it here.
variables={
"title": "Product name",
"img": "https://flyyer.io/img/marketplace/flyyer-banner.png",
},
# [Optional] Custom metadata for rendering the image. ID is recommended so we provide you with better statistics.
meta=FlyyerMeta(
id="jeans-123", # recommended for better stats
v="12369420123", # specific handler version, by default it's a random number to circumvent platforms' cache,
width=1200,
height=600,
resolution=0.9, # from 0.0 to 1.0
agent="whatsapp", # force dimensions for specific platform
),
)

# Check:
print(flyyer.href())
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/v2/website-com/_/__v=1618281823/path/to/product
```

For signed URLs, just provide your secret (find it in Dashboard > Project > Advanced settings) and choose a strategy (`HMAC` or `JWT`).

```python
flyyer = Flyyer(
project="website-com",
path="/path/to/product",
secret="your-secret-key",
strategy="JWT", # or 'HMAC'
)

print(flyyer.href())
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/v2/website-com/jwt-eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJwYXJhbXMiOnsiX19pZCI6ImplYW5zLTEyMyJ9LCJwYXRoIjoiXC9wYXRoXC90b1wvcHJvZHVjdCJ9.X8Vs5SGEA1-3M6bH-h24jhQnbwH95V_G0f-gPhTBTzE?__v=1618283086
```

## Flyyer Render

As you probably realized, **Flyyer** uses the [rules defined on your dashboard](https://flyyer.io/dashboard/_/projects) to decide how to handle every image based on path patterns. It analyses your website to obtain information and then render a content-rich image with no effort. Let's say _"Flyyer delivers images based on the content of this route"_.

**Flyyer Render** instead requires you to explicitly declare template and variables for the images to render, **giving you more control for customization**. Let's say _"FlyyerRender delivers an image using this template and these explicit variables"_.

```python
from flyyer import FlyyerRender

flyyer = FlyyerRender(
tenant="tenant",
deck="deck",
template="template",
variables={"title": "Hello world!"},
)

# Use this image in your
