---

This package is a PHP client for [Gotenberg](https://gotenberg.dev), a developer-friendly API to interact with powerful
tools like Chromium and LibreOffice for converting numerous document formats (HTML, Markdown, Word, Excel, etc.) into
PDF files, and more!

| Gotenberg version | Client |
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `8.x` **(current)** | `v2.x` **(current)** |
| `7.x` | `v1.x` |
| `6.x` | [thecodingmachine/gotenberg-php-client](https://github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg-php-client) |

## Quick Examples

You may convert a target URL to PDF and save it to a given directory:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

// Converts a target URL to PDF and saves it to a given directory.
$filename = Gotenberg::save(
Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)->pdf()->url('https://my.url'),
$pathToSavingDirectory
);
```

You may also convert Office documents:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;
use Gotenberg\Stream;

// Converts Office documents to PDF.
$response = Gotenberg::send(
Gotenberg::libreOffice($apiUrl)
->convert(
Stream::path($pathToDocx),
Stream::path($pathToXlsx)
)
);
```

## Requirement

This packages requires [Gotenberg](https://gotenberg.dev), a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files.

See the [installation guide](https://gotenberg.dev/docs/getting-started/installation) for more information.

## Installation

This package can be installed with Composer:

```
composer require gotenberg/gotenberg-php
```

We use *PSR-7* HTTP message interfaces (i.e., `RequestInterface` and `ResponseInterface`) and the *PSR-18* HTTP client
interface (i.e., `ClientInterface`).

For the latter, you may need an adapter in order to use your favorite client library. Check the available adapters:

* https://docs.php-http.org/en/latest/clients.html

If you're not sure which adapter you should use, consider using the `php-http/guzzle7-adapter`:

```
composer require php-http/guzzle7-adapter
```

## Build a request

This package is organized around *modules*, namely:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl);
Gotenberg::libreOffice($apiUrl);
Gotenberg::pdfEngines($apiUrl);
```

Each of these modules offers a variety of methods to populate a *multipart/form-data* request.

After setting all optional form fields and files, you can create a request by calling the method that represents the endpoint.
For example, to call the `/forms/chromium/convert/url` route:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf() // Or screenshot().
->singlePage() // Optional.
->skipNetworkIdleEvent() // Optional.
->url('https://my.url'));
```

> [!TIP]
> Head to the [documentation](https://gotenberg.dev/) to learn about all possibilities.

If the route requires form files, use the `Stream` class to create them:

```php
use Gotenberg\DownloadFrom;
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;
use Gotenberg\Stream;

Gotenberg::libreOffice($apiUrl)
->convert(Stream::path($pathToDocument));

// Alternatively, you may also set the content directly.
Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf()
->html(Stream::string('

Hello, world!

'));

// Or create your stream from scratch.
Gotenberg::libreOffice($apiUrl)
->convert(new Stream('document.docx', $stream));

// Or even tell Gotenberg to download the files for you.
Gotenberg::libreOffice($apiUrl)
->downloadFrom([
new DownloadFrom('https://url.to.document.docx', ['MyHeader' => 'MyValue'])
])
->convert();
```

## Send a request to the API

After having created the HTTP request, you have two options:

1. Get the response from the API and handle it according to your need.
2. Save the resulting file to a given directory.

### Get a response

You may use any HTTP client that is able to handle a *PSR-7* `RequestInterface` to call the API:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$request = Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf()
->url('https://my.url');

$response = $client->sendRequest($request);
```

If you have a *PSR-18* compatible HTTP client (see [Installation](#installation)), you may also use `Gotenberg::send`:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$request = Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf()
->url('https://my.url');

try {
$response = Gotenberg::send($request);
return $response;
} catch (GotenbergApiErrored $e) {
// $e->getResponse();
}
```

This helper will parse the response and if it is not **2xx**, it will throw an exception. That's especially useful if
you wish to return the response directly to the browser.

You may also explicitly set the HTTP client:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$response = Gotenberg::send($request, $client);
```

### Save the resulting file

If you have a *PSR-18* compatible HTTP client (see [Installation](#installation)), you may use `Gotenberg::save`:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$request = Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf()
->url('https://my.url');

$filename = Gotenberg::save($request, '/path/to/saving/directory');
```

It returns the filename of the resulting file. By default, Gotenberg creates a *UUID* filename (i.e.,
`95cd9945-484f-4f89-8bdb-23dbdd0bdea9`) with either a `.zip` or a `.pdf` file extension.

You may also explicitly set the HTTP client:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$response = Gotenberg::save($request, $pathToSavingDirectory, $client);
```

### Filename

You may override the output filename with:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$request = Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf()
->outputFilename('my_file')
->url('https://my.url');
```

Gotenberg will automatically add the correct file extension.

### Trace or request ID

By default, Gotenberg creates a *UUID* trace that identifies a request in its logs. You may override its value thanks to:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$request = Gotenberg::chromium('$apiUrl')
->pdf()
->trace('debug')
->url('https://my.url');
```

It will set the header `Gotenberg-Trace` with your value. You may also override the default header name:

```php
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

$request = Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->pdf()
->trace('debug', 'Request-Id')
->url('https://my.url');
```

Please note that it should be the same value as defined by the `--api-trace-header` Gotenberg's property.

The response from Gotenberg will also contain the trace header. In case of error, both the `Gotenberg::send` and
`Gotenberg::save` methods throw a `GotenbergApiErroed` exception that provides the following method for retrieving the
trace:

```php
use Gotenberg\Exceptions\GotenbergApiErrored;
use Gotenberg\Gotenberg;

try {
$response = Gotenberg::send(
Gotenberg::chromium($apiUrl)
->screenshot()
->url('https://my.url')
);
} catch (GotenbergApiErrored $e) {
$trace = $e->getGotenbergTrace();
// Or if you override the header name:
$trace = $e->getGotenbergTrace('Request-Id');
}
```
