PDF Generation and Web Screenshot / Image Generation with Docker Containers should be a painless POST call via API. Below is a python example for converting HTML to PDF in python using our docker container.

#python example
import requests
import json

secret_key = 'your-secret-key'
endpoint = 'https://v2.api2pdf.com/chrome/pdf/html'
html_to_convert = '<p>Hello World</p>'

api_response = requests.post(endpoint, json={'html': html_to_convert}, headers={'Authorization': secret_key})
print(json.loads(api_response.content)['FileUrl'])

The example above uses our SaaS service, but with self-hosted docker container you would just replace our endpoint with your own server’s endpoint.
