There are no known libraries yet. If you've written one, talk to me!
Body should be JSON data containing the LaTeX code and the output format. The format can be one of pdf, png or jpg.
{
'code': '\begin{document} Hello \end{document}',
'format': 'pdf'
}
When format is either png or jpg, two more fields are available. quality specifies the compression quality of the resulting image, with 100 being the highest quality. density is the frequency with which to sample pixels from the PDF file. Higher density will result in a larger file.
{
'code': '\begin{document} Hello \end{document}',
'format': 'pdf',
'quality': 20,
'density': 300
}
The default value for quality is 85, and the default value for density is 200.
{
'staus': 'success',
'log': '(LaTeX rendering log, usually quite large)',
'filename': 'mpkitxwIIArLENkzamE0FzkURk3aA9HI.pdf'
}
{
'status': 'error',
'description': 'Human readable message of what went wrong',
'log': '(LaTeX rendering log, not guaranteed here)'
}
filenamefilename should be filename retrieved from the initial post request.
The file. A 404 error code will be given if it doesn't exist. Files are stored on the server for an indeterminate length of time, but will be eventually be removed.
