How to convert a Website URL into a PDF file in Node.JS

Need to render a website into PDF form? We have a handy little API that will do just that. It takes just a short time to set up — let’s look at how.

We’ll use npm install to get the client installed.

npm install cloudmersive-convert-api-client --save

This now opens up our API to be called with this function here:

var CloudmersiveConvertApiClient = require('cloudmersive-convert-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ConvertWebApi();
var input = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.UrlToPdfRequest(); // UrlToPdfRequest | URL to PDF request parameters
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
}
};
apiInstance.convertWebUrlToPdf(input, callback);

Enter the URL of the target website and it will be downloaded, processed, and sent back as a PDF. How easy was that! All of our APIs are just as easy to use, and we have hundreds.
