Wkhtmltopdf Flask As a Service
PDF Generator Flask microservice

Builds are automatically generated from github.

Starting Docker container
docker run -d --name wkhtmltopdf-aas -p <hostport>:80 ciricihq/wkhtmltopdf-aas
Testing the microservice
Testing providing url to render:
curl -F "url=http://cirici.com" 'http://localhost:5000/pdf' > youramazingfile.pdf
Testing uploading contents:
curl -F "[email protected]" 'http://localhost:5000/pdf' > youramazingfile.pdf
Testing passing html as string:
curl -F "html=<html><head> <meta charset%3D\"utf8\"> </head><body>Hello world</body></html>" 'http://localhost:5000/pdf' > youramazingfile.pdf
Passing options
You can use all the wkhtmltopdf options passing in a options array as following example (if option should not receive value just send the option without value):
curl -F "url=http://cirici.com" -F "options[orientation]=Landscape" -F "options[grayscale]" 'http://localhost:5000/pdf' > youramazingfile.pdf
You want to generate images? No problem, just change the pdf endpoint to jpg.
