Using cookies in cUrl

In this guide, we'll show you how to use cookies when converting HTML to PDF using PDFShift's API.

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

# Use cookies for authentication
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", "cookies": [{"name": "session", "value": "abc123"}]}' \
  -o "result.pdf"

With this cUrl command, you can pass cookies to authenticate with protected content. Happy coding!
