DocRaptor Python Native Client Library

This is a Python package for using DocRaptor API to convert HTML to PDF and XLSX. It is compatible with Python 3.

Installation

pip install --upgrade docraptor

easy_install --upgrade docraptor

If you are on a system with easy_install but not pip, you can use easy_install instead. If you're not using virtualenv, you may have to prefix those commands with sudo.

Basic Usage

import docraptor

doc_api = docraptor.DocApi()
doc_api.api_client.configuration.username = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'   # this key works for test documents
# doc_api.api_client.configuration.debug = True

response = doc_api.create_doc({
  "test": True,                                                   # test documents are free but watermarked
  "document_content": "<html><body>Hello World</body></html>",    # supply content directly
  # "document_url": "http://docraptor.com/examples/invoice.html", # or use a url
  "name": "docraptor-python.pdf",                                 # help you find a document later
  "document_type": "pdf",                                         # pdf or xls or xlsx
  # "javascript": True,                                           # enable JavaScript processing
  # "prince_options": {
  #   "media": "screen",                                          # use screen styles instead of print styles
  #   "baseurl": "http://hello.com",                              # pretend URL when using document_content
