Visual PDF API reference

REST API

The Visual PDF API is structured around the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer), a widely adopted architectural style for designing networked applications. This means that our API leverages standard HTTP methods (such as GET, POST, DELETE) to perform operations on resources, which are typically represented as URLs. Each endpoint in the Visual PDF API corresponds to a specific function, enabling you to easily interact with and manipulate PDF files.
