apitemplate_get_accountread-only

The APITemplate.io account behind this key: plan, subscription status and period, and the quota: api_quota, api_used, api_remaining (generations), plus the template quota and count. Check api_remaining before generating. GET /v2/account-information.

apitemplate_list_templatesread-only

List the templates of the account (PDF and image): template_id, name, format (PDF or JPEG), status, group and dates. Use the template_id with the create tools. Read-only; templates are never changed. GET /v2/list-templates.

apitemplate_get_templateread-only

One PDF template's HTML body, CSS and print settings (the vendor marks this endpoint experimental, so it can answer with an error for some accounts or image templates). Read-only. GET /v2/get-template.

apitemplate_list_objectsread-only

List the PDFs and images generated so far, newest first: transaction_ref, template_id, type (PDF, JPEG or MERGE), your meta reference, the hosted file URLs (primary_url, secondary_url for the PNG) and dates. Files already deleted or expired have deletion_status set. Read-only. GET /v2/list-objects.

apitemplate_create_pdf

WRITE: renders one PDF from a saved PDF template and your JSON data (the keys the template uses, e.g. invoice_number, items), and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). Synchronous. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted. POST /v2/create-pdf (export_type=json).

apitemplate_create_image

WRITE: renders one image (JPEG and PNG) from a saved image template, changing the named layers with overrides (e.g. [{"name":"text_1","text":"Hello"},{"name":"image_1","src":"https://..."}]), and returns the hosted download URLs (never the file bytes). COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every ca

apitemplate_create_pdf_from_html

WRITE: renders one PDF from HTML (Jinja2 placeholders like {{name}} are filled from data), without a saved template, and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted. POST /v2/create-pdf-from-html (export_type=json).

apitemplate_create_pdf_from_markdown

apitemplate_create_pdf_from_url

WRITE: APITemplate.io opens one public web page URL and prints it to a PDF, and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). The page is fetched by APITemplate.io, not by this server; pages that need a login cannot be printed. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted.

apitemplate_merge_pdfs

WRITE: joins 2-20 PDFs (public http(s) URLs, in the given order, e.g. earlier download_url values) into one PDF and returns the hosted primary_url (never the file bytes). The source files are not changed or deleted. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account).
