Install the requests library and make your first API call:

pip install requests

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://html2pdfapi.com/render',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'html': '<h1>Hello World</h1>',
        'format': 'pdf'
    }
)

with open('output.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(response.content)

Convert URL to PDF

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://html2pdfapi.com/render',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'url': 'https://example.com',
        'format': 'pdf',
        'options': {
            'format': 'A4',
            'printBackground': True
        }
    }
