SDK Overview — SDKs | Document Stack Docs

Available SDKs

Document Stack provides official SDKs for three languages. Each SDK wraps the REST API, handles authentication, and provides typed interfaces for all operations.

Language	Package	Min Version
Node.js / TypeScript	`@document-stack/sdk-node`	Node 18+
Python	`document-stack`	Python 3.9+
Go	`github.com/documentstack/sdk-go`	Go 1.21+

Quick Install

Node.js

npm install @document-stack/sdk-node

Python

pip install document-stack

go get github.com/documentstack/sdk-go

Basic Usage

Every SDK follows the same pattern: create a client with your API key, then call methods on it.

Node.js

import { DocumentStack } from "@document-stack/sdk-node";

const client = new DocumentStack({ apiKey: process.env.DS_API_KEY! });

const pdf = await client.generate({
    templateId: "tmpl_abc123",
    data: { customerName: "Alice", amount: 99.99 },
});

console.log("PDF URL:", pdf.url);

Python

from document_stack import DocumentStack

client = DocumentStack(api_key=os.environ["DS_API_KEY"])

pdf = client.generate(
    template_id="tmpl_abc123",
    data={"customerName": "Alice", "amount": 99.99},
)

print("PDF URL:", pdf.url)

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
    ds "github.com/documentstack/sdk-go"
)

func main() {
    client := ds.NewClient(os.Getenv("DS_API_KEY"))

    pdf, err := client.Generate(ds.GenerateParams{
        TemplateID: "tmpl_abc123",
        Data: map[string]interface{}{
            "customerName": "Alice",
            "amount":       99.99,
        },
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("PDF URL:", pdf.URL)
}

Common Features

All SDKs share these capabilities:

Authentication — API key passed once at client creation
PDF generation — Generate PDFs from templates with dynamic data
Template management — List and retrieve templates
Project management — List and manage projects
Error handling — Typed errors with status codes and messages
Automatic retries — Configurable retry logic for transient failures

All SDKs are open source. Contributions are welcome on GitHub.
