Api2Pdf runs on AWS Lambda, a serverless architecture powered by Amazon to scale to millions of requests while being up to 90% cheaper than alternatives. **Supports wkhtmltopdf, Headless Chrome, LibreOffice, and PDF Merge.** You can also generate barcodes with ZXING (Zebra Crossing). SDKs & Client Libraries We've made a number of open source libraries available for the API - Python: [https://github.com/api2pdf/api2pdf.python](https://github.com/api2pdf/api2pdf.python) - .NET: [https://github.com/api2pdf/api2pdf.dotnet](https://github.com/api2pdf/api2pdf.dotnet) - Nodejs: [https://github.com/api2pdf/api2pdf.node](https://github.com/api2pdf/api2pdf.node) - PHP: [https://github.com/Api2Pdf/api2pdf.php](https://github.com/Api2Pdf/api2pdf.php) - Ruby: (Coming soon) Authorization Create an account at [portal.api2pdf.com](https://portal.api2pdf.com/register) to get an API key. **Authorize your API calls** - GET requests, include apikey=YOUR-API-KEY as a query string parameter - POST requests, add **Authorization** to your header. ``` Authorization: YOUR-API-KEY ``` Quickstart If you are looking for just a quick call to grab PDFs of a URL, you can do a GET request like: ``` https://v2018.api2pdf.com/chrome/url?url={UrlToConvert}&apikey={YourApiKey} ``` For more advanced usage and settings, see the API specification below.\n\n### \ud83d\udd27 How it Works\n\nThis workflow converts the Api2Pdf - PDF Generation, Powered by AWS Lambda API into an MCP-compatible interface for AI agents.\n\n\u2022 **MCP Trigger**: Serves as your server endpoint for AI agent requests\n\u2022 **HTTP Request Nodes**: Handle API calls to https://v2018.api2pdf.com\n\u2022 **AI Expressions**: Automatically populate parameters via `$fromAI()` placeholders\n\u2022 **Native Integration**: Returns responses directly to the AI agent\n\n\n### \ud83d\udccb Available Operations (9 endpoints)\n\n**Headless Chrome (3 operations)**\nconvert\n\n**Libre Office (1 operations)**\nconvert\n\n**Merge / Combine Pdfs (1 operations)**\nmerge\n\n**W K Html To Pdf (3 operations)**\nconvert\n\n**Zxing (zebra Crossing) Bar Codes (1 operations)**\ngenerate\n"
