Contract PDF generation API

Generate a contract PDF from a template and your deal JSON in a single call. Docweave binds parties, terms, payment schedule, and signature blocks into an HTML contract template and returns a ready-to-sign PDF — no headless browser to run yourself.

Generate a contract PDF via the API

POST your template and data to /api/v1/pdf:

curl https://docweave.dev/api/v1/pdf \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dw_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/pdf" \
  -d '{
    "source": {
      "type": "template",
      "template": "<h1>{{ contract_title }}</h1><p>Contract No. {{ contract_number }}</p><p>Between {{ party_a }} and {{ party_b }}</p><p>Effective {{ effective_date }}</p>",
      "data": {
        "contract_title": "Master Services Agreement",
        "contract_number": "MSA-2026-0143",
        "party_a": "Acme Inc.",
        "party_b": "Northwind Consulting LLC",
        "effective_date": "July 15, 2026"
      }
    },
    "options": { "format": "A4" },
    "idempotencyKey": "msa-2026-0143"
  }' \
  --output msa-2026-0143.pdf

…or from an AI agent

Add the Docweave MCP server and your agent gets a generate_pdf tool — the same orchestration, no HTTP boilerplate:

// From an AI agent over MCP — no HTTP plumbing:
generate_pdf({
  source: {
    type: "template",
    template: "<h1>{{ contract_title }}</h1><p>Contract No. {{ contract_number }}</p><p>Between {{ party_a }} and {{ party_b }}</p><p>Effective {{ effective_date }}</p>",
    data: {
      contract_title: "Master Services Agreement",
      contract_number: "MSA-2026-0143",
      party_a: "Acme Inc.",
      party_b: "Northwind Consulting LLC",
      effective_date: "July 15, 2026"
    }
  },
  outputPath: "/tmp/msa-2026-0143.pdf"
})

Template example

Any HTML works as a template. Use {{ placeholders }} for the values you pass in data:

<article style="font-family: sans-serif;">
  <header style="text-align:center;">
    <h1>{{ contract_title }}</h1>
    <div>Contract No. {{ contract_number }}</div>
  </header>

  <p>
    This agreement is entered into as of {{ effective_date }} by and between
    <strong>{{ party_a }}</strong>, located at {{ party_a_address }} ("Party A"),
    and <strong>{{ party_b }}</strong>, located at {{ party_b_address }} ("Party B").
  </p>

  <h2>1. Term</h2>
  <p>This agreement remains in effect for {{ term_length }}, beginning on {{ effective_date }}.</p>

  <h2>2. Scope of Services</h2>
  <p>{{ scope_of_services }}</p>

  <h2>3. Payment Terms</h2>
  <p>Party A shall pay Party B {{ payment_amount }}, due {{ payment_schedule }}.</p>

  <h2>4. Governing Law</h2>
  <p>This agreement is governed by the laws of {{ governing_law }}.</p>

  <table style="width:100%; margin-top:48px; border-collapse:collapse;">
    <tr>
      <td style="width:50%; padding-top:32px; border-top:1px solid #000;">{{ party_a_signatory }}<br/>Party A, {{ effective_date }}</td>
