URL

Gotenberg provides the endpoint /convert/url for remote URL conversions.

It accepts POST requests with a multipart/form-data Content-Type.

Basic

This endpoint does not accept an index.html file nor assets files but a form field named remoteURL instead. Otherwise, URL conversions work the same as HTML conversions.

Attention: when converting a website to PDF, you should remove all margins. If not, some of the content of the page might be hidden.

Attention: if you try to convert a URL from a Docker Compose service named app (i.e. removeURL = http://app/an/entrypoint), the resulting PDF will be blank. Make sure to rename your service to avoid this issue.

cURL

$ curl --request POST \
    --url http://localhost:3000/convert/url \
    --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
    --form remoteURL=https://google.com \
    --form marginTop=0 \
    --form marginBottom=0 \
    --form marginLeft=0 \
    --form marginRight=0 \
    -o result.pdf

Go

import "github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg-go-client/v7"

c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := gotenberg.NewURLRequest("https://google.com")
req.Margins(gotenberg.NoMargins)
dest := "result.pdf"
c.Store(req, dest)

PHP

use TheCodingMachine\Gotenberg\Client;
use TheCodingMachine\Gotenberg\URLRequest;

$client = new Client('http://localhost:3000', new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client());
$request = new URLRequest('https://google.com');
$request->setMargins(Request::NO_MARGINS);
$dest = 'result.pdf';
$client->store($request, $dest);

Custom HTTP headers

You may send your own HTTP headers to the remoteURL.

For instance, by adding the HTTP header Gotenberg-Remoteurl-Your-Header to your request, the API will send a request to the remoteURL with the HTTP header Your-Header.

Attention: the API uses a canonical format for the HTTP headers: it transforms the first letter and any letter following a hyphen to upper case; the rest are converted to lowercase. For example, the canonical key for accept-encoding is Accept-Encoding.

cURL

$ curl --request POST \
    --url http://localhost:3000/convert/url \
    --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
    --header 'Gotenberg-Remoteurl-Your-Header: Foo' \
    --form remoteURL=https://google.com \
    -o result.pdf

Go

import "github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg-go-client/v7"

c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := gotenberg.NewURLRequest("https://google.com")
req.AddRemoteURLHTTPHeader("Your-Header", "Foo")
dest := "result.pdf"
c.Store(req, dest)

PHP

use TheCodingMachine\Gotenberg\Client;
use TheCodingMachine\Gotenberg\URLRequest;

$client = new Client('http://localhost:3000', new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client());
$request = new URLRequest('https://google.com');
$request->addRemoteURLHTTPHeader('Your-Header', 'Foo')
$dest = 'result.pdf';
$client->store($request, $dest);
