Move from Orshot

Make the template again in the MintRender editor (or start from a template), give each changing layer the same field name, then change the API call.

Orshot source

curl -X POST https://api.orshot.com/v1/studio/render \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORSHOT_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "templateId": "<YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID>",    "modifications": {      "title": "Welcome to Orshot",      "subtitle": "Generate images at scale"    },    "response": { "format": "png", "type": "url" }  }'

MintRender

curl -X POST https://mintrender.com/v1/render \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MINTRENDER_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "template": "YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID",    "data": {      "title": "Welcome to MintRender",      "subtitle": "Generate images at scale"    },    "format": "png"  }'

templateId becomes template, and modifications becomes data, with the same field names.
response.format becomes format. MintRender always answers with a URL, so there is no response.type.
