PDF Generation

Generate PDF documents from any web page.

Basic PDF

cURL
Node.js
Python

curl -X POST https://api.snapopa.com/capture \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "format": "pdf"
  }'

const response = await fetch('https://api.snapopa.com/capture', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://example.com',
    format: 'pdf',
  }),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.data.fileUrl);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.snapopa.com/capture',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    json={
        'url': 'https://example.com',
        'format': 'pdf',
    }
)

data = response.json()
print(data['data']['fileUrl'])

Full Page PDF

Capture the entire scrollable page as PDF:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "format": "pdf",
  "isFullPage": true
}

PDFs with isFullPage: true will have continuous pages matching the full page height.

Download PDF Directly

Get the raw PDF file instead of a JSON response:

curl -X POST https://api.snapopa.com/capture \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "format": "pdf",
    "responseType": "file"
  }' \
  -o document.pdf

Best Practices

For best PDF results:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "format": "pdf",
  "isFullPage": true,
  "waitUntil": "networkidle",
  "timeout": 60000
}

Use isFullPage - Captures complete content
Wait for content - Use networkidle for dynamic pages
Increase timeout - Complex pages need more time
Test print styles - Check @media print CSS
