Can I stream images in my custom recipes? If yes, what's the syntax. The example is about yielding text. Thanks.

Hi! You can find the expected data format here: [https://prodi.gy/docs/api-interfaces#image](https://prodi.gy/docs/api-interfaces#image)

Streams in Prodigy all work the same, regardless of the type of content, so instead of tasks with a key `"text"`, you'd just yield tasks with a key `"image"`. The only thing to keep in mind with images is that your browser will likely block images from local paths, so you want to stream in either URLs or base64-encoded data URIs.
