  title: Blink PDF Layout Document API
  description: 'Render Markdown into accessible, PDF/UA-conformant PDFs over HTTP. Send Markdown plus optional document metadata, fonts, page layout, viewer hints, and per-block style overrides to `POST /v1/render`, or use a structured template such as `POST /v1/templates/sandwich-document/render` or `POST /v1/templates/layout-document/render`. Fill by name is a separate verb: template (PDF bytes or stored id) plus `{ name: value }` returns a filled PDF; it is not a second verb on `POST /v1/render`. Inspect the complete AcroForm hierarchy at `POST /v1/inspect`, dry-run at `POST /v1/validate-fill`, and fill at `POST /v1/fill`. `POST /v1/fill` streams the PDF and does not keep the output. Stored templates live at `/v1/templates` (store, list, update, delete, download); JSON get/patch/delete by id is gone. Each visible revision atomically binds immutable blank bytes, inspect, resources, and pins. Inspect describes unsupported document and field traits through capabilities and diagnostics; strict fill and template storage reject unsupported subsets. Names are ISO fully qualified names. Omitted names stay unchanged. `false` is a value. Unknown names reject the request. The filled PDF never includes `/NeedAppearances`. Fill is request/response: a live template PDF is one binary multipart part capped by the tier `maxTemplateBytes`, and produce has a 120 second ceiling. No job id. Authentication is via an `x-api-key` header. An unknown path returns HTTP 404 with the named error `not_found`. A method a registered path does not accept returns 405 `method_not_allowed` with an `Allow` header listing the methods that path accepts.'
