# Social Card

`GET /media/social/cards/{post_id}.jpg`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com/media/social/cards/{post_id}.jpg`
- Auth: none declared

The picture a social post carries — what Instagram and TikTok fetch.

The worker draws and stores it before it publishes, so this only runs on a
miss: a card that was never drawn (a post that went only to networks that
unfurl links instead), or an object someone deleted. Same arrangement as
the covers above: Caddy asks the bucket first and falls through to here.

## Path parameters

- `post_id` integer, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response
