The Pdfcrowd API lets you easily create PDF from web pages or raw HTML code in your Python applications.
To use the API, you need an account on http://pdfcrowd.com, if you don't have one you can sign up here. This will give you a username and an API key.
The package can be retrieved from pypi. You can install it with pip/easy_install:
pip install pdfcrowd
Or you can download/clone the client and run
git clone git@github.com:pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd-python.git
cd pdfcrowd-python/
python setup.py install
(don't forget to use your "username" and "apikey")
import pdfcrowd
try:
# create an API client instance
client = pdfcrowd.Client("username", "apikey")
# convert a web page and store the generated PDF into a pdf variable
pdf = client.convertURI('http://example.com')
# convert an HTML string and save the result to a file
html="<html><body>In-memory HTML.</body></html>"
client.convertHtml(html, open('html.pdf', 'wb'))
# convert an HTML file
client.convertFile('/path/to/local/file.html', open('file.pdf', 'wb'))
except pdfcrowd.Error, why:
print 'Failed:', why
