In this guide, we'll show you how to convert raw HTML to PDF using C# and the RestSharp library.
Converting raw HTML content to PDF is useful when you have HTML content that isn't hosted on a web server.
```csharp
using RestSharp;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
// You can get an API key at https://pdfshift.io
var apiKey = "sk_xxxxxxxxxxxx";
var client = new RestClient("https://api.pdfshift.io/v3/convert/pdf");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.Post);
request.AddHeader("X-API-Key", apiKey);
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
var payload = new
{
source = "Hello World
"
};
request.AddJsonBody(payload);
var response = await client.ExecuteAsync(request);
// Handle errors:
if (response.StatusCode >= System.Net.HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)
{
throw new Exception($"Request failed with status code {response.StatusCode}");
}
File.WriteAllBytes("result.pdf", response.RawBytes);
Console.WriteLine("The PDF document was generated and saved to result.pdf");
```
This allows you to convert HTML content directly to PDF without needing a URL.
