The API

Everything the builder does is plain HTTP — render Markdown or a structured resume model to PDF, parse Markdown into the model, list templates. No account needed to try it:

curl -F "file=@resume.md" -F "template=modern" \
  https://YOUR-HOST/api/generate-pdf -o resume.pdf

Free — verify your email and the key appears once. No password, ever. Requesting a new link rotates the key.

Email Email me a key link

Used only for the verification link and abuse control — never shared, no newsletter. Resumes you render are processed in memory and never stored.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer rk_..." \
  -F "file=@resume.md" https://YOUR-HOST/api/generate-pdf -o resume.pdf

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer rk_..." https://YOUR-HOST/api/me
