Example JSON

Below is the JSON used to create the shipping label above. All the attributes within the data parameter are non-mandatory. Supply only what you want to populate on the document.

    "template": "shipping_label_4x6",
    "data": {
        "logo": "https://docamatic.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/assets/logo.png",

Styling

It's easy to change the look and feel of the shipping label. The template API allows you to easily insert your own logo and specify a custom font.

    
        {
    "template": "shipping_label_4x6",
    "font": "Open Sans",
    "font_size": 0.9,
    "font_color": "#32325d",
    "data" : {...}
}
    

Generate as PDF or Image

By default all templates are generated as a PDF document. If you would like to generate as a PNG or WEBP image, supply the file_type parameter in your API request:

    
        {
    "template": "shipping_label_4x6",
    "file_type": "png",
    "data" : {...}
}
    

Need a custom template?

If you prefer to build your own templates or require more flexibility, be sure to try our HTML to PDF API . We are using the same HTML to PDF API to generate the shipping label above!
