Authentication
Eledo uses HTTP header authentication with an API Key.
Authentication details are described in the Authentication section.
Document Generation
There are two main ways to generate documents:
1. Synchronous generation (most common)
Use this approach when you need an immediate response:
-
List Get a list of your templates and find out a template ID for further API calls
-
Schema Retrieve JSON schema for a specific template and organize your data into a JSON payload for generation endpoint
-
Generate Generate your document and get it as a response
2. Asynchronous generation (advanced)
Use this approach when processing larger workloads or when immediate response is not required:
-
Create File Store your JSON data as a File and get a download URL
-
Download Generate and download your document with File ID included in download URL
Identification
When working with multiple API Keys it's good to know which account they are for.
- User Profile Identify a profile you are authenticated for
