Your data, your layout
This fictional example includes three subjects, attendance, and a teacher’s comment. Adapt grades and field names to your school’s schema.

}From template to PDF
Save the file as report-card-request.json, replace the template ID, and adapt its data. Create an API token with documents:create and documents:read and access to that template. Run these commands from your terminal or server.
export SHIPPDF_API_TOKEN='YOUR_API_TOKEN'
curl --fail-with-body https://api.shippdf.com/v1/documents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPPDF_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: report-card-STU-1042-term-1" \
