Hi Team, I need to create pdf from dynamic html.
So I have HTML file, inline CSS and json data.

How I can  use new rest API's to create PDF.
I tried following steps - 
1.Create a zip file from html, css and json file.

2.Generate access token.

2.Upload them to adobe cloud and get asset ID.

3.Call api- https://pdf-services-ue1.adobe.io/operation/htmltopdf

but it's not working.

Can any one help me on this? As new rest api documentation is not clear

I'm working with someone else who sent me some sample HTML, but no data. If you can quickly send me a MINIMAL example that includes the HTML + all assets, ie, the zip, and your data, I will try to reproduce.

Query, the other person's HTML is missing this:

 

 <script src='./json.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

 

Can you confirm if your templates have this?

Are you bundling the JSON in the ZIP? If you run the index.html file from localhost does it display properly?

--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=<client_id>' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=<client_secret>'
 
resp - it is returning access-token
 
2.To get upload URI and asset id
 
curl --location --request POST 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets' \
--header 'X-API-Key: <client_id>' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "mediaType": "application/json"
}'
 
resp - upload_uri and assest_id
 
3.to upload file
 
curl -i --location -g --request PUT '<presigned upload url>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '<zip_file_path>'
 
resp - status - 200
 
4.To create pdf
 
curl -i --location --request POST 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/operation/htmltopdf' \
--header 'x-api-key: <client_id>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' \
--data-raw '{
    "assetID": "<assest_id>",
    "json": "{}"
    "includeHeaderFooter": true,
    "pageLayout": {
        "pageWidth": 11,
        "pageHeight": 8.5

}'
