Word to PDF conversion, Excel to PDF, etc, etc on Cloud Run offers some huge benefits. First, we do not have any rate limits, unlike other services out there. Hit the API as many times as you wish.

Otherwise, you can write very simple code against the REST API. Below is a simple Word to PDF example using Python.

#python example
import requests
import json

api_key = 'your-api-key'
endpoint = 'https://v2.api2pdf.com/libreoffice/any-to-pdf'
url_to_file = 'your-publicly-accessible-file-url' # some URL to your file, like on S3

api_response = requests.post(endpoint, json={'url': url_to_file}, headers={'Authorization': api_key})
print(json.loads(api_response.content)['FileUrl'])
