HTML to PDF API — real Chromium rendering, one POST request

One request, three languages

curl -X POST https://pdfmintapi.com/v1/generate/html \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pm_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"html":"<h1>Hello PDF</h1><p>Rendered by Chromium.</p>"}' \
  --output hello.pdf

const res = await fetch('https://pdfmintapi.com/v1/generate/html', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer pm_your_key', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ html: '<h1>Hello PDF</h1>', options: { format: 'A4' } })
});
await require('fs').promises.writeFile('hello.pdf', Buffer.from(await res.arrayBuffer()));

import requests
r = requests.post('https://pdfmintapi.com/v1/generate/html',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer pm_your_key'},
    json={'html': '<h1>Hello PDF</h1>', 'options': {'format': 'Letter', 'landscape': True}})
open('hello.pdf', 'wb').write(r.content)

Options: format (Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Ledger, A0–A6), landscape, and per-side margin. Full reference in the API docs.

Why not just run Puppeteer yourself?

You can — plenty of teams start there. The hidden costs show up later:

• ~600 ms median render on a warm engine — live latency on the status page
• Print-CSS aware: @page size, preferCSSPageSize, background graphics on
• Bonus: every PDF gets an optional hosted, trackable link with an open-event webhook (Document Tracking)
• Don't want to write HTML at all? Magic Templates generates it from a sentence, and there's a Markdown endpoint too
