gotenberg-client

Go Reference Go Report Card License

A high-performance Go client for the Gotenberg HTTP API with a fluent interface. Built using only the Go standard library (via http-client).

Features:

  • Minimal dependencies (only stdlib + http-client)
  • Fluent API for building requests
  • Support for HTML/URL to PDF conversion
  • Webhook support
  • Easy file/multipart uploads
  • Paper size, margins, and advanced PDF options

Quick Start: Synchronous HTML to PDF

package main

import (
	"context"
	"io"
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"os"
	"strings"

	"github.com/nativebpm/gotenberg-client"
)

func main() {
	client, err := gotenberg.NewClient(&http.Client{}, "http://localhost:3000")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	html := strings.NewReader("<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>")

	resp, err := client.
		ConvertHTML(context.Background(), html).
		PaperSizeA6().
		Margins(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5).
		Send()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	f, _ := os.Create("out.pdf")
	io.Copy(f, resp.Body)
	f.Close()
}

Example: Async PDF Generation with Webhook

See examples/cmd/webhook for a full async webhook demo (HTML invoice to PDF, with logo, webhook server, and error handling):

go run ./examples/cmd/webhook

This will:

  • Start a local webhook server
  • Generate an invoice PDF using HTML template and logo
  • Receive the PDF via webhook callback from Gotenberg

Installation

go get github.com/nativebpm/gotenberg-client

Testing

Run all tests and benchmarks:

go test -v -bench=. ./...
