  5. Name Your Template: Give it a descriptive name (e.g., “company-certificate-template”)

Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method

Connect to Peedief using your preferred method: Option A: REST API (for developers)
  1. Get API Key: Go to dashboard → API Keys → Generate New Key
  2. Make API Call: Use template endpoint with your data
  3. Receive PDF: Download link returned in response
Option B: MCP Tools (for AI agents)

  2. Authenticate: Connect with your Peedief account
  3. Generate via Conversation: Ask AI to create documents using your template names

Step 3: Generate Your First PDF

API Example:
curl -X POST "https://peedief.com/api/templates/by-name/company-certificate-template/pdf" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "contextJson": {
      "recipientName": "John Smith",
      "courseName": "Introduction to AI",
      "completionDate": "2024-01-30"
    },
    "fileName": "certificate-john-smith.pdf"
  }'
MCP Example:
