You can provide the text or PNG image which can be set as header and footer to this utility. Additionally you can control the font size (in the case of text) and opacity of the header and footer.
Using this API, you can automate the process of adding headers and footers to multiple PDF files, which can save time and effort compared to doing it manually. Add a professional touch to your documents, ensuring they are not only more informative but also carry your brand’s identity consistently.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
