Getting Started with the API

Integrating PageSnap.co is straightforward. Follow these steps to get set up and try out the API.

Step 1: Register a Free Account and Get API Credentials

Sign up for a free account on PageSnap.co. After signing up, you’ll be able to generate a unique API username and password, which you’ll use to authenticate your API requests.

Step 2: Test in Postman with Your API Username and Password

To make testing even easier, we’ve created a Postman workspace. Use your API credentials in this workspace to experiment with different configurations, test API responses, and see the results before integrating the API into your application. You can use the free online https://webhook.site to receive and inspect the webhook response.

Step 3: Review the API Documentation

Our API documentation provides a detailed overview of all endpoints, parameters, and examples. You’ll find everything you need to configure the PDF output, from page size and orientation to advanced CSS styling, ensuring that the converted PDF meets your specifications.

Make Your First API Call

With your setup complete, here’s a quick demo of how the API works using cURL. You can integrate our API with any programming language, and on our website and dashboard, we provide sample integration code in various languages. Here’s the cURL example to get you started:

Example Request (cURL):

curl -X POST 'https://api.asia.pagesnap.co/snap' \
  -u 'apiname:apipassword' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "sandbox": true,
    "webhook_url": "https://your-webhook-url.com",
    "contents": {
      "urls": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech"]
    }
  }'

Replace API_USERNAME and API_PASSWORD with your API credentials. The url parameter is the web page you’d like to capture, and optional parameters like pageSize and orientation allow further customization.
