Generate mindmap, flowchart, architecture, and sequence diagrams directly from text or pre-authored source using our REST API. One auth model, four diagram types, all behind the same simple request shape.
The ClipMind REST API allows you to programmatically generate professional mind map images from any text content. Whether you want to create summaries, visualize ideas, or integrate mind mapping into your application, our API provides a simple and powerful interface to do so.
https://api.clipmind.techJWT-based authentication ensures secure access to the API with time-limited tokens.
Generate high-resolution PNG images with customizable themes and layouts.
Leverage AI for intelligent summarization and brainstorming from raw text.
Pick a diagram type below. Every type accepts the same {text, options} body shape, supports raw mode (pre-authored source) and summarize mode (AI-generated from prose), and returns either the rendered image or the underlying source.
/public/mindmaps/imageProcesses raw text or markdown to generate a structured mind map image (PNG). The process involves AI summarization followed by professional rendering.
