# slideshow-api
a simple web server serving (scaled) images and color palettes for [slideshow](https://git.velvettear.de/velvettear/slideshow).
## requirements
- [ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org/) (optional; for scaling)
## endpoints
- `/`: request the name of a random image
- `/image/<name-of-an-image.jpeg>[?resolution=1920x1080]`: request the named image (in the specified resolution)
- `/palette/<name-of-an-image.jpeg>[?colors=16&algorithm=wsm]`: request the color palette of the named image (with the specified amount of colors and algorithm)
## configuration
configuration is entirely done via environment variables.
