Receipt PDF generation API

Generate a receipt PDF from a template and your order JSON in a single call. Docweave binds the amount, payment method, and customer details into an HTML receipt template and returns a PDF you can email or store the instant a charge succeeds.

Generate a receipt 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" \
  -d '{
    "source": {
      "type": "template",
      "template": "<h1>Receipt {{ number }}</h1><p>Paid by {{ customer }} on {{ paid_date }}</p><p>Amount: {{ amount }}</p>",
      "data": {
        "number": "RCPT-1188",
        "customer": "Acme Inc.",
        "paid_date": "2026-07-14",
        "amount": "$49.00"
      }
    },
    "options": { "format": "A4" },
    "idempotencyKey": "rcpt-1188"
  }'

…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>Receipt {{ number }}</h1><p>Paid by {{ customer }} on {{ paid_date }}</p><p>Amount: {{ amount }}</p>",
    data: { number: "RCPT-1188", customer: "Acme Inc.", paid_date: "2026-07-14", amount: "$49.00" }
  },
  outputPath: "/tmp/receipt-1188.pdf"
})

Template example

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

<article style="font-family: sans-serif; max-width: 400px;">
  <h1>Receipt {{ number }}</h1>
  <p>Merchant: {{ merchant }}</p>
  <p>Paid by: {{ customer }}</p>
  <p>Date: {{ paid_date }}</p>
  <p>Payment method: {{ method }}</p>

  <table style="width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;">
    {{ line_items }}
  </table>

  <p style="text-align:right;"><strong>Amount paid: {{ amount }}</strong></p>
  <p style="font-size:12px; color:#666;">Transaction {{ transaction_id }}</p>
</article>
