Integrations Overview
APITemplate.io connects with automation platforms, no-code tools, and programming languages so you can generate PDFs and images from any workflow. This page summarizes every integration option — pick the approach that fits your stack.
Integration approaches
| Approach | When to use |
|---|---|
| No-code platforms | Trigger document generation from Zapier, Make.com, n8n, or similar tools without writing code |
| REST API | Call endpoints directly from any language or HTTP client for full control |
| SDKs | Use official client libraries for C#, Python, JavaScript, PHP, or Java |
| Direct URL | Generate images via a simple GET request — no API key in the URL |
| Webhooks | Receive notifications when async document generation completes |
Platforms with dedicated guides
Each of these has a full tutorial in this documentation.
| Platform | Docs page | External link |
|---|---|---|
| REST API | REST API | API Reference v2 |
| Zapier | Zapier | Zapier connector |
| Make.com | Make.com | Make.com integration |
| Bubble.io | Bubble.io | Bubble plugin |
| Airtable | Airtable | Airtable integration |
| n8n | n8n | n8n node |
Additional no-code platforms
These platforms offer built-in APITemplate.io connectors or marketplace listings — no custom HTTP setup required.
| Platform | Type | External link |
|---|---|---|
| Power Automate (Microsoft) | Enterprise automation | Connector on Microsoft Learn |
| Pipedream | Developer-first automation | Pipedream integration |
| Integrately | Simple app connections | Integrately integration |
| UiPath | Robotic process automation | UiPath library on GitHub |
SDKs
Official client libraries handle authentication, serialization, and error handling for you.
| Language | Repository |
|---|---|
| C# | apitemplateio-csharp |
| Python | apitemplateio-python |
| JavaScript | apitemplateio-javascript |
| PHP | apitemplateio-php |
| Java | apitemplateio-java |
REST API
The REST API gives you full control over PDF and image generation from any language or HTTP client. Authenticate with your API key via the X-API-KEY header and call endpoints to create documents, manage templates, and more.
- REST API integration guide — authentication, endpoints, and examples in this documentation
- API Reference v2 — complete endpoint reference with request/response schemas
Direct URL (no API key needed)
For image generation, you can use Direct URLs — simple HTTP GET requests that generate images from query string parameters. No API key is required in the URL itself.
This works anywhere you can embed an image URL:
- WordPress
- Webflow
- Email campaigns
- Open Graph meta tags
Generic HTTP/HTTPS integration
Most automation platforms have a generic HTTP/HTTPS module that can call any REST API. Use this to connect APITemplate.io with platforms that don't have a native integration:
- Add an HTTP module to your workflow
- Set the method to POST
- Set the URL to
https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-pdf?template_id=YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID - Add headers:
X-API-KEY: your API keyContent-Type:application/json
- Set the body to your JSON data
This approach works with:
- Tray.io
- Workato
- Retool — see Generating PDFs in Retool and 4 Methods to Generate PDF Documents in Retool
- Salesforce
- Hubspot
- Any platform with HTTP request capabilities
Webhooks
For event-driven workflows, use APITemplate.io's async mode with webhooks:
- Make an API call with
async=true - Specify a webhook URL in your request
- When the document is ready, APITemplate.io sends a POST to your webhook with the download URL
This is useful for:
- Processing large batches without blocking
- Triggering downstream actions when documents are ready
- Building event-driven architectures
