How does APITemplate.io help with report generation?

APITemplate.io lets you design a report template once and generate new reports automatically by passing in dynamic data through API calls or automation tools. This helps teams save time, reduce repetitive work, and produce consistent reports at scale.

What types of reports can I generate?

You can generate many types of reports, including financial reports, operational summaries, KPI dashboards, client reports, audit reports, compliance documents, internal performance reports, and scheduled business updates.

Can I use my own report design?

Can I generate reports from JSON data?

Yes. You can send structured JSON data such as metrics, dates, tables, summaries, chart values, customer details, and other report content, then generate a PDF report automatically from that data.

Can reports include charts, tables, and dynamic sections?

Automation and Integrations

Automate PDFs and images from Zapier, Make.com or n8n — or call the REST API from Python, C#, Java, PHP and UiPath.

curl -X POST \
  "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-pdf?template_id=6b277b234d395eca" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data '{"invoice_no": "INV38379", "total_amount": 82542.56}'

# {"status": "success", "download_url": "https://pdf.apitemplate.io/..."}

const url =
  "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-pdf?template_id=6b277b234d395eca";

const res = await fetch(url, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ invoice_no: "INV38379", total_amount: 82542.56 }),
});

const { download_url } = await res.json();

import requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-pdf",
    params={"template_id": "6b277b234d395eca"},
    headers={"X-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"invoice_no": "INV38379", "total_amount": 82542.56},
)

download_url = res.json()["download_url"]

var url = "https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2/create-pdf"
        + "?template_id=6b277b234d395eca";
var json = "{\"invoice_no\": \"INV38379\", \"total_amount\": 82542.56}";

var request = HttpRequest.newBuilder().uri(URI.create(url))
    .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .header("X-API-KEY", "YOUR_API_KEY")
    .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString(json))

Automate PDF and image generation with no-code platforms or the REST API

One reusable template, one JSON payload. Send data from a Zapier zap, a Make.com scenario, an n8n workflow or your own backend — every integration calls the same endpoint and returns a ready-to-share file URL.

Generate synchronously for on-screen downloads or asynchronously with webhooks for batches, and keep processing and storage in your chosen region: US, EU, Singapore or Australia.

Factored Quality
We use APITemplate to generate key documentation we need to work with our industry partners. We are building a digital solution in an antiquated industry, which means we need to communicate data to our partners in the format that they are accustomed to (pdf forms). APITempate makes it easy for us to do this!

We love APITemplate.io for its simplicity and ease of use. Just setup once and "forget" about it due to its fabulous 3rd party integration. New features are regularly added, and reasonable custom requests are honoured within days.

APITemplate.io is one of the best services I have worked with in a very, very long time. They are super responsive and a joy to work with. If you are struggling with PDF's, like I was, check 'em out!
Jacob MonashAutomation Specialist
ai4.co
We run conferences with a number of speakers, each requiring an individual speaker profile. We used to create all of these profiles manually, but by incorporating APItemplate into our Zapier workflow, our team can generate a complete image with all of the speakers information in one click. Using the template editor is a bit of a learning curve, but the support team is very responsive and helpful.
George Cooper
APITemplate.io is great. I love being able to quickly use HTML and CSS templates with dynamic variables to create documents. Support is also fast and responsive. Great vendor!
