get_templates("memecaptain") returns 404

[daroczig]

First of all, kudos for writing and maintaining this awesome and fun package!

Unfortunately I've just faced some issues with most recent dev version of the package:

> library(meme)
> templates <- get_templates("memecaptain")
Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In get_templates("memecaptain") : HTTP Status404: Not Found

Any ideas?

I fear they may have shut down their API. I'll check again in a few days and decide how to proceed. In the interim, you can try one of the other generators.

Yes, actually none of these work for me. get_templates("imgflip") works, but it is impossible to register on their site. On the other hand, get_templates("memecaptain") doesn't work but I was able to register on their site. So combined with the error above, all three don't work.

😞 I'll see what I can do...
