Generate PDF via API
An API-first approach to generating PDF documents from templates.
- Custom software applications, built using Java, .Net, PHP, Ruby, Python, etc., by calling the API directly.
- Third-Party and No/Low Code platforms by configuring a webhook or services within the platform to connect to the API.
The API Render Service
The “render” endpoint is the main document generation service.
- The calling application sends a data payload to the API.
- The payload contains: the data; the template name; the output format(s).
- Calls are synchronous (no polling) and wait while the request is completed.
- Documents are returned in the response or delivered as instructed.
The API offers convenient features such as Dev Mode. In the event of an error, this mode controls whether:
- A document IS generated, with the errors highlighted in the document (helpful during development); or,
- A document IS NOT generated. Instead an error code and message are returned to the calling application (perfect for production).
