Using Typhoeus in Ruby

Typhoeus is a parallel HTTP client library for Ruby that provides high-performance and asynchronous HTTP requests. It allows developers to make multiple HTTP requests simultaneously and handle responses asynchronously. Typhoeus is commonly used for making concurrent HTTP requests and improving the performance of web applications.

We've implemented a code sample that you can re-use to convert your HTML documents to PDF, JPG, PNG or WEBP using PDFShift and Ruby:

require 'typhoeus'
require 'json'

def convert(api_key, params, endpoint = 'pdf')
  # Ensure the endpoint is valid
  unless %w[pdf png jpg webp].include?(endpoint)
    raise ArgumentError, 'Invalid endpoint specified'
  end

  # Set the API URL
  url = "https://api.pdfshift.io/v3/convert/#{endpoint}"

  # Make the POST request
  response = Typhoeus.post(url, body: params.to_json, headers: {
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    'Authorization' => "Basic #{Base64.strict_encode64("api:#{api_key}")}"
  })

  # Check for successful response
  unless response.success?
    raise "Request failed with status code #{response.code}: #{response.body}"
  end

  # Return the response based on the presence of filename or webhook
  response_body.key?('filename') || response_body.key?('webhook') ? JSON.parse(response.body) : response.body
end

Here's how you can use the above code:

begin
  result = convert('sk_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX', {'source' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST'})
  puts result
rescue StandardError => e
  puts "Error: #{e.message}"
end

We've tested this code with the latest version of Typhoeus and it's ready to be used in your project.

But if you were to encounter any bugs or issues while running it (or if you want to suggest changes to improve the code), please contact us and we'll be happy to help you out.
