Introducing Our New API 24.04 Beta
We are pleased to introduce the beta version of our new API 24.04. This release includes updated support for the latest web standards and numerous improvements to our HTML to PDF and Image APIs. We invite you to test the new features and share your feedback with us.
You may want to try out this new beta version if the current version does not provide optimal or correct output for your needs, or if you're just curious and want to try out our latest technology.
How to Enable the Beta Version
Enabling the beta version is easy, and you can switch between the beta and stable versions effortlessly.
API Clients
The beta is accessible via our API client libraries from version 5.19 onwards. To enable it, switch your converter to the 24.04 version using the following line of code:
client.setConverterVersion("24.04")
Additionally, to ensure forward compatibility with future releases, we recommend implementing the following options in your API integrations:
client.setRenderingMode("default")
client.setSmartScalingMode("default")
client.setViewportWidth(1024)
If these methods are already part of your integration, no changes are necessary. The specific values passed are less important than the method calls themselves.
HTTP API
If you are accessing the API directly, you can reach the beta at the following endpoint:
https://api.pdfcrowd.com/convert/24.04/
Similarly, as with the API clients, for forward compatibility, we recommend explicitly using the following options, regardless of their specific values:
rendering_mode=default
smart_scaling_mode=default
viewport_width=1024
WordPress Plugins
The beta is also accessible in our WordPress plugins from version 3.4.0 onwards. To enable it, navigate to the Expert Settings tab in the API Client Options section and set the Converter Version to "24.04".
