In today's digital-first world, the ability to transform dynamic web content into static, printable, and shareable documents is more crucial than ever. Whether it's for generating invoices, reports, e-books, or simply archiving web pages, converting HTML to PDF is a common challenge for businesses and developers alike. Manual processes are time-consuming and prone to errors, while unreliable tools can compromise the quality and integrity of your documents.

Enter TompisAPIs' powerful HTML to PDF API – your ultimate solution for instantly converting any HTML content into professional, high-fidelity PDF files. Designed for developers, SaaS owners, and entrepreneurs, our API offers a robust, secure, and incredibly flexible way to streamline your document generation workflows. Say goodbye to formatting headaches and hello to pristine PDFs, every single time.

Our html2pdf API is engineered with precision to provide a superior conversion experience. Here’s what makes it stand out:

• High-Fidelity Rendering: Powered by WeasyPrint, our API ensures that your converted PDFs maintain the exact layout, styling, and visual integrity of your original HTML, including complex CSS, images, and fonts.
• Flexible Input Options: You can provide your HTML content in two convenient ways: either as a .html file upload (html_file) or directly as a plain text string (html_text). This flexibility accommodates various integration scenarios.
• Multiple Output Formats: Tailor the API's response to fit your application's needs with three distinct response_type options:
  • pdf (Default): Receive a direct PDF file download.
  • base64: Get the PDF as a base64 encoded string within a JSON object, ideal for embedding or in-memory processing.
  • zip: Obtain a ZIP archive containing both the generated PDF and your original HTML source file, perfect for auditing or debugging.
• Customizable Filenames: Easily specify the output PDF's filename using the filename parameter, ensuring your documents are organized from the get-go.

Integrating the TompisAPIs HTML to PDF converter into your application is straightforward. The API operates via a POST method to the /api/pdf-toolkit/html2pdf/ endpoint. Here’s a closer look at its parameters and how to use them:

Core Parameters:

• html_file (File, Optional): Upload your HTML as a .html or .htm file.
• html_text (String, Optional): Paste your HTML content directly as a string. (Note: You must provide either html_file or html_text, but not both. If both are present, html_file takes precedence.)
• filename (String, Optional): The desired name for your output PDF (e.g., report.pdf). Defaults to output.pdf.
• response_type (String, Optional): Specify pdf, base64, or zip to control the output format. Default is pdf.

Example Python Integration (Conceptual):

Here’s a simplified Python example demonstrating how to send HTML as a string and receive a base64 encoded PDF:

import requests
import base64

url = "https://rapidapi.com/tompisapis-tompisapis-default/api/ultimate-pdf-toolkit/html2pdf/"
headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "ultimate-pdf-toolkit.p.rapidapi.com"
}

html_content = "
Welcome to TompisAPIs!
This is a test HTML document.
"
data = {
    'html_text': html_content,
    'response_type': 'base64'
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    pdf_base64 = response.json().get('pdf')
    if pdf_base64:
        with open("output.pdf", "wb") as f:
            f.write(base64.b64decode(pdf_base64))
        print("PDF generated successfully!")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

This example showcases the ease with which you can programmatically convert web content.
