PDF Generation

Generate PDF documents from any URL.

Usage

Set format=pdf to get a PDF instead of an image:

curl "https://api.urlpix.com/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&format=pdf" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -o page.pdf

Options

PDF generation respects the same viewport parameters as screenshots:

curl "https://api.urlpix.com/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&format=pdf&width=1440" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -o wide.pdf

JavaScript Example

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: 'https://example.com',
  format: 'pdf',
  width: '1440',
})

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.urlpix.com/v1/screenshot?${params}`,
  { headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'sk_live_YOUR_KEY' } }
)

const pdfBlob = await response.blob()

Node.js — Save to File

import fs from 'fs'

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.urlpix.com/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&format=pdf',
  { headers: { 'X-API-Key': process.env.URLPIX_API_KEY } }
)

const buffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer())
fs.writeFileSync('output.pdf', buffer)

Tips

• The quality parameter has no effect on PDF output
• fullPage=true works with PDF — the PDF will contain the entire scrollable page
• PDFs are cached like other formats (TTL depends on your plan)
