Instructions

How Carbone works โ€” 3 steps:

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿญ: ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ

Create a template in any editor (Word, LibreOffice, Excel, Google Docs) and insert Carbone markers โ€” placeholders like {d.firstName} that get replaced with your data at render time. Markers can inject text, numbers, dates, images, barcodes, HTML content, dynamic loops, and more.

Alternatively, use Carbone Studio (https://studio.carbone.io) to upload your template, paste your JSON data, and preview the output live โ€” no API calls needed during design. Supported template formats: DOCX, ODT, XLSX, ODS, PPTX, ODP, HTML, Markdown, and more.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฎ: ๐—จ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ

Upload your template via "Upload a Template" action. You'll receive a unique template ID used to trigger renders. If you manage templates via Carbone Studio, you can copy the template ID directly from the Studio interface (top-right "info" icon).
You need an API key for all authenticated endpoints. Create a free account and get your key at: https://carbone.io


๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฏ: ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜

Call the action "Generate a Document" with your template ID and a JSON data payload. Specify the output format with "convertTo": "pdf" (or docx, xlsx, etc.) in the request body. The API returns the generated file directly โ€” no extra download step needed.

๐ŸŽ‰ Done! Your document is ready.

- ๐Ÿงช Test API key โ€” generates unlimited watermarked PDFs only. Use for template design and testing.
- ๐Ÿš€ Production API key โ€” generates any format, no watermark. Based on your subscription credits.
- ๐Ÿ†“ Free Sandbox plan โ€” includes 100 credits/month with a production key. Great for low-volume production use without a paid plan.

๐——๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜†:
- Carbone does not log or store the data you send to the Cloud API or Studio. Your data is used solely to generate the document.

Works really well to create documents
February 17th, 2022
Plugin works really well to create common documents and in a GDPR-friendly way. Some funtionality from the full API isn't yet implemented, but planned to. Support is really quick and helpful.
Thank you for your feedback! Following our conversation, a new version of the plugin is available `v1.1.0`, and you can get the report name. The API is now fully implemented ;) (plugin author)
