    # parameter to act as a cache buster.
    now = datetime.now()
    caption = text.replace('/', ' ')
    imageUrl = f'https://cataas.com/cat/says/{caption}?time={now.timestamp()}'

    image = CardService.newImage() \

        .setAltText('Meow')

    # Create a button that changes the cat image when pressed.
    # Note: Action parameter keys and values must be strings.
    action = CardService.newAction()  \
