Make Your First API Request

Now that you have an account, an API key, and a template, let's generate something.

API endpoint​

The base URL for the API is:

https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/

APITemplate.io also offers regional endpoints for better performance and data residency:

RegionEndpoint
US (default)https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/
EUhttps://rest-eu.apitemplate.io/v2/
Australiahttps://rest-au.apitemplate.io/v2/
Singaporehttps://rest-sg.apitemplate.io/v2/

Create a PDF​

Send a POST request to /create-pdf with your template ID and JSON data:

curl -X POST "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-pdf?template_id=YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "company_name": "Acme Corp",
    "invoice_number": "INV-001",
    "amount": "$1,250.00"
  }'

The response will include a download_url where you can access the generated PDF:

{
  "download_url": "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/...",
  "status": "success"
}

Create an image​

Send a POST request to /create-image with your image template ID:

curl -X POST "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-image?template_id=YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "overrides": [
      {
        "name": "title",
        "text": "Hello World"
      }
    ]
  }'
