Event Ticket PDF generation API

Generate an event ticket PDF from a template and your order JSON in a single call. Docweave binds the attendee name, seat, and QR/barcode into an HTML ticket template and returns a ready-to-scan PDF — no headless browser to run yourself.

Generate an event ticket 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>{{ event_name }}</h1><p>{{ attendee_name }} — Seat {{ seat }}</p><p>Ticket {{ ticket_id }}</p>",
      "data": {
        "event_name": "Northside Music Festival",
        "attendee_name": "Jordan Ellis",
        "seat": "GA-Floor",
        "ticket_id": "NMF26-00481"
      }
    },
    "options": { "format": "A6" },
    "idempotencyKey": "NMF26-00481"
  }' \
  --output ticket-NMF26-00481.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>{{ event_name }}</h1><p>{{ attendee_name }} — Seat {{ seat }}</p><p>Ticket {{ ticket_id }}</p>",
    data: { event_name: "Northside Music Festival", attendee_name: "Jordan Ellis", seat: "GA-Floor", ticket_id: "NMF26-00481" }
  },
  outputPath: "/tmp/ticket-NMF26-00481.pdf"
})

Template example

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

<article style="font-family: sans-serif; border: 2px solid #111; border-radius: 12px; padding: 24px;">
  <header style="display:flex; justify-content:space-between; align-items:flex-start;">
    <div>
      <h1 style="margin:0;">{{ event_name }}</h1>
      <p style="margin:4px 0 0;">{{ venue_name }}, {{ venue_city }}</p>
      <p style="margin:2px 0 0;">{{ event_date }} · Doors {{ door_time }}</p>
    </div>
    <img src="{{ qr_code_url }}" alt="Entry QR code" width="110" height="110" />
  </header>

  <hr style="margin:16px 0; border-top:1px dashed #999;" />

  <table style="width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;">
    <tr>
      <td>Attendee</td>
      <td style="text-align:right;"><strong>{{ attendee_name }}</strong></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Ticket type</td>
      <td style="text-align:right;">{{ ticket_type }}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Section / Seat</td>
      <td style="text-align:right;">{{ section }} / {{ seat }}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Order</td>
      <td style="text-align:right;">{{ order_id }}</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <p style="margin-top:16px; font-size:12px; color:#555;">Ticket ID {{ ticket_id }} · Non-transferable · Present this barcode at entry.</p>
  <div style="text-align:center; margin-top:8px;">{{{ barcode_svg }}}</div>
