PDF tools as a REST API

Sign in with your pdftrusted.com account and create a key. Start free with no card; a Pro or Custom plan on your account covers the API too. Task records are kept for 2 hours. Stored copies are removed within 1 hour. Signed-in History keeps results for 1 hour. An upload that is not processed expires after 1 hour. Delete a finished task with DELETE /v1/tasks/{id} using the same credential.

curl -X POST https://api.pdftrusted.com/v1/tasks \
  -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool":"compress"}'

Your API key

One key per account. It uses your account's plan: the free trial allowance, or Pro and Custom when you subscribe. The secret is shown once. Lost it? Rotate it: the new key keeps the same plan and usage.

Plans

One account for the website and the API. Your key uses the plan on your pdftrusted.com account, so a Pro or Custom subscription covers both. Payment is by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record, which also handles sales tax and receipts.
