Loading JavaScript from a string in cUrl

In this guide, we'll show you how to provide JavaScript directly as a string when converting HTML to PDF using PDFShift's API.

# You can get an API key at https://pdfshift.io
API_KEY="sk_xxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Provide JavaScript as a string
curl -X POST "https://api.pdfshift.io/v3/convert/pdf" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ${API_KEY}" \
  -d '{"source": "https://www.example.com", "javascript": "document.body.style.backgroundColor = \"red\";"}' \
  -o "result.pdf"

With this cUrl command, you can provide inline JavaScript for dynamic content in your PDF documents. Happy coding!
