Platendoc is a no-code document generation platform. Build templates visually in the portal, then trigger generation from your backend with a single API call.

How it works

1

Build a template

Use the Platendoc portal to create a Liquid-powered template. Define variables, layout your document, and publish.
2

Get an API key

In the portal, go to API Keys and create a key with the scopes you need.
3

Trigger generation

Call POST /v1/generations with your template ID and variable values. The document is rendered asynchronously.
4

Download the output

Poll GET /v1/generations/{id} until status is COMPLETED, then download from outputUrl.

Output

Generations produce a pdf file rendered via headless Chromium — pixel-perfect layout, matching what you designed in the portal.

Base URL

All API requests go to:
https://api.platendoc.com/v1

Rate limits

Requests are rate-limited per API key. On limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header.
