PrexView API

Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

PrexView converts structured XML or JSON data into formatted PDF documents, HTML pages, or images using reusable design templates. You upload your data and reference a template name, and the API renders the final output. It is well-suited for generating documents like invoices, certificates, and reports from structured data.

💡

Beginner Tip

Templates must be created and uploaded to PrexView before using the API — create your template as an XML design file and deploy it with your API key before sending conversion requests.

Available Data

PrexView data via REST API
JSON-formatted response data
Requires API key authentication

Example Response

JSON Response
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from PrexView",
    "description": "Data from XML or JSON to PDF, HTML or Image",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Field Reference

(binary) The rendered output file (PDF, HTML, or image) returned as binary content in the response body.
content-type HTTP response header indicating the output format (e.g., application/pdf, text/html, image/png).
x-prexview-transaction Response header containing a unique transaction ID for the conversion request.

Implementation Example

const url = "https://prexview.com/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

What Can You Build?

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized The Authorization header is missing or the API key is incorrect.
Pass your API key directly in the Authorization header without the "Bearer" prefix, as required by PrexView.
Template not found error The template name in the request does not match any deployed template.
Double-check the template name — it is case-sensitive and must exactly match the name used when uploading the template.
Malformed output file The JSON or XML data has syntax errors that prevent the template engine from rendering correctly.
Validate your JSON with a linter before sending, and ensure all template variables have corresponding values in the data.
