Limitations (from the README)

- Generated images are hosted by Imgflip and may be deleted when they receive no views for a long period. - get_memes returns the top ~100 templates ordered by caption popularity over the last 30 days, so results change over time. - All generation endpoints are application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST requests; this server handles the encoding (including the boxes[i][field] array syntax) for you. - Full upstream docume
