Overview

Html2PDF is a REST API that converts HTML markup or any public web URL into a downloadable PDF document. You send your HTML content or a URL, and the API returns a PDF binary or a link to download it. It is handy for generating reports, receipts, or printable pages directly from web content.

Beginner Tip

If converting a URL, make sure the page is publicly accessible — the API fetches the URL from its own servers, so localhost or private network URLs will not work.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Use case: Integrate html/url to pdf data into web and mobile applications

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

JSON Response · Illustrative
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from Html2PDF",
    "description": "HTML/URL to PDF",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Field Reference

url Temporary hosted URL where the generated PDF can be downloaded, returned in some response modes.
status Indicates whether the conversion was successful.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://api.html2pdf.app/v1/generate?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&url=https://example.com";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized The apikey query parameter is missing or incorrect.
Append ?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY to every request URL.
Empty or corrupted PDF The target URL returned an error page or the HTML string was malformed.
Test the URL in a browser first to confirm it renders correctly, and validate your HTML before sending.
Timeout error The target URL took too long to load, exceeding the API render timeout.
Optimize the page being converted, or send raw HTML in the request body instead of a URL.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
