Not using any of the above languages? It's still easy to use DocRaptor's HTML to PDF API with basic HTTP calls.
Make a POST request
To convert a document, simply send a POST request to https://YOUR_API_KEY_HERE@docraptor.com/docs with the below JSON payload:
{
"test": true, // test documents are free but watermarked
"document_content": "<html><body>Hello</body></html>", // supply content directly
// "document_url": "http://docraptor.com/examples/invoice.html", // or use a url
"type": "pdf", // pdf or xls or xlsx
// "javascript": true, // enable JavaScript processing
// "prince_options": {
// "media": "screen" // use screen styles instead of print styles
// "baseurl": "http://hello.com" // pretend URL when using document_content
// }
}For more information, see our complete API reference.
curl
Here's an example of that POST request with curl:
curl http://YOUR_API_KEY_HERE@docraptor.com/docs \
--fail --silent --show-error \
--header "Content-Type:application/json" \
--data '{"test": true,
"document_url": "http://docraptor.com/examples/invoice.html",
"type": "pdf" }' > docraptor.pdf
