Resume PDF generation API

Generate a resume PDF from a template and a candidate's JSON data in a single call. Docweave binds work history, education, and skills into an HTML resume template and returns a ready-to-send PDF — no headless browser to run yourself.

Generate a resume 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" \
  --output resume-jordan-alvarez.pdf \
  -d '{
    "source": {
      "type": "template",
      "template": "<h1>{{ full_name }}</h1><p>{{ headline }}</p><p>{{ email }} · {{ phone }}</p>",
      "data": {
        "full_name": "Jordan Alvarez",
        "headline": "Senior Backend Engineer",
        "email": "jordan.alvarez@example.com",
        "phone": "+1 (555) 019-2244"
      }
    },
    "options": { "format": "Letter" },
    "idempotencyKey": "resume-jordan-alvarez-v3"
  }'

…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>{{ full_name }}</h1><p>{{ headline }}</p><p>{{ email }} · {{ phone }}</p>",
    data: { full_name: "Jordan Alvarez", headline: "Senior Backend Engineer", email: "jordan.alvarez@example.com", phone: "+1 (555) 019-2244" }
  },
  outputPath: "/tmp/resume-jordan-alvarez.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>
    <h1>{{ full_name }}</h1>
    <p>{{ headline }}</p>
    <p>{{ email }} · {{ phone }} · {{ location }} · {{ links }}</p>
  </header>

  <section>
    <h2>Summary</h2>
    <p>{{ summary }}</p>
  </section>

  <section>
    <h2>Experience</h2>
    {{{ experience_items }}}
  </section>

  <section>
    <h2>Education</h2>
    {{{ education_items }}}
  </section>

  <section>
    <h2>Skills</h2>
    <p>{{ skills }}</p>
  </section>
</article>
