PPaaS

Party Parrot as a Service

NOTICE

Since Heroku is deprecating their free tier, the API has been migrated to Vercel. The URL changed from https://ppaas.herokuapp.com to https://partyparrotasaservice.vercel.app/api (yes, including the /api part).

Sorry for the inconvenience. (But not quite, let's put all the blame on corporate)

PPaaS UI

You can use the PPaaS UI to create party parrots in a friendlier manner (see its GitHub repo).

Basic call

https://partyparrotasaservice.vercel.app/api/partyparrot

Overlay

You can add an overlay that follows the parrot using the overlay query parameter:

• flipOverlayY (doesn't seem to work at the moment)
