Quick start

This page walks through your first render — from key to PDF — without touching the dashboard.

Set your API key

Export your key into the environment your application runs in:

export POLI_PAGE_API_KEY=pp_test_...

Render a PDF

using PoliPage;

var client = new PoliPageClient(new PoliPageClientOptions
{
    ApiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("POLI_PAGE_API_KEY")!,
});

byte[] pdf = await client.Render.PdfAsync(new ProjectModeInput
{
    Project  = "billing",
    Template = "invoice",
    Version  = "1.0.0",
    Data     = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        { "invoiceNumber", "INV-001" },
        { "total", 1280 },
    },
});

pdf is a byte[]. Write it to disk, upload to S3, or return it directly from an HTTP handler.

Example

using PoliPage;

var client = new PoliPageClient(new PoliPageClientOptions
{
    ApiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("POLI_PAGE_API_KEY")!,
});

byte[] pdf = await client.Render.PdfAsync(new ProjectModeInput
{
    Project  = "billing",
    Template = "invoice",
    Version  = "1.0.0",
    Data     = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        { "invoiceNumber", "INV-001" },
        { "total", 1280 },
    },
});

await File.WriteAllBytesAsync("./invoices/INV-001.pdf", pdf);
