## About

## What it does
Web Page to PDF converts a public HTTP or HTTPS URL into a PDF binary. Send a page URL and get back a downloadable PDF, with support for common document settings like paper size, orientation, margins, background printing, and optional PDF/A archival formats.

Use it when you need to capture a live webpage as a fixed document for sharing, archiving, review, or record-keeping. It handles standard paper formats including A4, Letter, Legal, Tabloid, A3, A5, and A6, so you can fit the output to your workflow or print pipeline.

For pages that depend on JavaScript, you can add a wait delay before rendering. You can also supply header and footer HTML that repeats on every page, including page number and total pages placeholders. That makes it a good fit for invoice exports, compliance snapshots, saved reports, and customer-facing document generation from web content.

## Usage

Base URL: `https://api.eu.apyhub.com` (default region — see
`GET https://apyhub.com/api/public/regions` for the rest).

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
