How to use the URL → PDF API
Render any public page to a print-quality PDF with a real browser (proper CSS, web fonts and @media print rules applied). The PDF comes back base64-encoded in data.base64.
Saving the PDF
Bashcurl "https://api.toolsxpo.com/v1/url-to-pdf?url=https://example.com" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLSXPO_KEY" \ | jq -r '.data.base64' | base64 -d > page.pdf
When to use it
- Archiving articles, invoices or receipts as a faithful, self-contained document.
- Generating printable versions of a report page you already render as HTML.
- Snapshotting a page for a compliance or evidence trail.
Tips & gotchas
- Design the page's print styles first — the PDF honours
@media print, so hide nav/ads and set page margins there for the cleanest output. - Content behind auth or requiring interaction won't appear; the browser loads the page as an anonymous visitor.
- Paid tool (runs a real browser). Returns
application/pdfbytes as base64.
