OpenAPI Specification

pdfs-build-render-jobs-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: pdfs.build Render jobs API
  version: '2.0'
  summary: Render PDFs from templates, manage templates, webhooks, embedded editor sessions and delegated agent access.
  description: 'All requests are authenticated with an organization-scoped API key (`prs_...`) sent as a Bearer token. Create keys under **Settings → API Keys** in the dashboard or with the MCP `create_api_key` tool. Keys are shown once.


    The organization in every `/v2` URL must match the key''s organization, otherwise the request fails with `403 organization_scope_mismatch`.


    **Errors** are JSON with a top-level `error` string — a machine-readable code for most failures, a phrase for a few legacy ones — usually alongside a human-readable `message`. Data validation and template compilation failures carry `details` / `diagnostics` instead of a `message`.


    **Versions.** `/v2` addresses templates by an external id you control. The legacy `/v1` routes identify templates by their generated internal id and remain supported for existing integrations.


    **Timestamps.** Objects served by the render service (templates, render jobs, logs, webhook endpoints) carry UTC timestamps in ISO 8601 form without a timezone suffix, e.g. `2026-08-30T12:00:00.123456`. Embedded-editor sessions and delegated access return RFC 3339 with a trailing `Z`.
