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


Bash
curl "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/pdf bytes as base64.
