render.pdf

render.pdf(input: RenderInput) -> bytes

Render a PDF and return its raw bytes (two HTTP calls: render + download).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
input	RenderInput	required	Render input (`project`, `template`, `data`, plus optional `format`, `orientation`, `locale`, `metadata`, `idempotency_key`, `timeout`). The API renders the project's copy published in the key's environment.

Returns

bytes — the rendered PDF as raw bytes.

Example

# Demonstrates: client.render.pdf(input) — render a stored project template to PDF bytes.
from poli_page import PoliPage

client = PoliPage()  # picks up POLI_PAGE_API_KEY from the environment

pdf = client.render.pdf({
    "project": "billing",
    "template": "invoice",
    "data": {"invoiceNumber": "INV-001", "total": 1280},
})

# `pdf` is a `bytes` object containing the PDF.
print(f"Rendered {len(pdf)} bytes")
