Multiple PDF Generator

@hussein depending on which programing language you’re using you can do option 1 but the process of saving the PDF to file field must be done in the code when you’re using /myowncustomAPI.

So what I’m thinking is:

  1. Create a pipe that sends data to /myowncustomAPI
  2. /myowncustomAPI generates the PDF and saves it locally on the server
  3. /myowncustomAPI then uploads the saved PDF to a file field in Tadabase
  4. /myowncustomAPI sends a JSON response with success message.

Uploading file from API is a bit tricky, but here’s a PHP snippet that might help.

This relies on having
composer require pear/http_request2

Then here’s the PHP code:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

//require_once 'HTTP/Request2.php';

$request = new HTTP_Request2();

$request->setUrl('https://api.tadabase.io/api/v1/data-tables/K68j9gN2V7/records');

$request->setMethod(HTTP_Request2::METHOD_POST);

$request->setConfig(array(

  'follow_redirects' => TRUE

));

$request->setHeader(array(

  'X-Tadabase-App-id' => 'b1r***QKk',

  'X-Tadabase-App-Key' => 'SpX*****QoiQ',

  'X-Tadabase-App-Secret' => '3HLO***********WvERh0eLT'

));

$request->addUpload('field_70', 'My-Local-File-Location.pdf', 'filename.pdf', '<Content-Type Header>');

try {

  $response = $request->send();

  if ($response->getStatus() == 200) {

    echo $response->getBody();

  }

  else {

    echo 'Unexpected HTTP status: ' . $response->getStatus() . ' ' .

    $response->getReasonPhrase();

  }

}

catch(HTTP_Request2_Exception $e) {

  echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();

}
