Getting Started

Create your first customer account and generate your first PDF in minutes.

Your First API Customer

Before generating PDFs you need a customer account. Create one via the admin API:

curl -X POST https://your-api.docustream.com/api/admin/customers \
  -H "x-admin-key: YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Acme Corp",
    "email": "admin@acme.com",
    "plan": "starter"
  }'

The response includes an apiKey — save it. This is the customer's credential for all API calls.

Your First Template

curl -X POST https://your-api.docustream.com/api/templates \
  -H "x-api-key: ak_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Welcome Letter",
    "content": "<html><body><h1>Welcome, {{name}}!</h1><p>Account created: {{date}}</p></body></html>"
  }'

Your First PDF

curl -X POST https://your-api.docustream.com/api/pdfs/generate \
  -H "x-api-key: ak_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "templateId": "tmpl_xyz789",
    "variables": {
      "name": "Jane Smith",
      "date": "April 5, 2026"
    }
  }'

The response includes a signed downloadUrl — open it in a browser to download your PDF.
