## Description

Turn Markdown or HTML plus a small branding theme into a branded PDF + PNG and a hosted share page in one call. Returns `pdfUrl`, `pngUrl`, `shareUrl`, and `expiresAt`. [See the documentation](https://rendex.dev/docs/api-reference#post-artifact).

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `content` | `string` | Yes | The Markdown or HTML body to render into a branded artifact. |
| `inputFormat` | `string` | No | How to interpret content: markdown is converted to styled HTML; html is used as a body fragment. |
| `formats` | `string[]` | No | Which artifact formats to produce. Each format charges 1 credit. Defaults to both. |
| `brandName` | `string` | No | Plain-text header line shown beside the logo (maps to branding.header). |
| `title` | `string` | No | Title for the hosted share page. Falls back to Brand Name when set; both populate branding.header (the API's single header field). |
| `accentColor` | `string` | No | CSS color for the accent bar, links, and headings (e.g. #EA580C, rebeccapurple). |
| `logoUrl` | `string` | No | Absolute http(s) URL of a logo image shown in the artifact header. |
| `footer` | `string` | No | Plain-text footer line shown at the bottom of every page. |
| `expiresIn` | `integer` | No | Seconds until the hosted artifact URLs expire (3600–2592000). Defaults to 86400 (24 hours). |
