Papyrus is an application to save a pdf version of any webpage.

## Usage

### 1. Install dependencies

Run `npm install`

### 2. Start the server

Run `node index.js`

## API

Papyrus exposes some `POST` endpoints for pdf generation: 

1. `/pdf`: The webpage to be printed is provided as the request body param `webURL`.

Sample request:

```shell

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:3000/pdf' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{

    "webURL": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus"

}' > download.pdf

```

The pdf is written to the file `download.pdf`.

2. `/html2pdf`: The webpage to be printed is provided as an HTML file with any key.

Sample request:

```shell

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:3000/html2pdf' \

--form 'file=@"/path/to/file/Or/Use/sample.html/from/this/repo"' > download.pdf

```
