Installation

Use markpdf-py when you want the Python client for scripts, services, notebooks, FastAPI/Django apps, workers, or automation.

Install

pip install markpdf-py

uv add markpdf-py

poetry add markpdf-py

The package installed from PyPI is markpdf-py; the Python import remains markpdf:

from markpdf import MarkpdfClient

Set the key in your environment:

MARKPDF_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

Then create the client:

from markpdf import MarkpdfClient

client = MarkpdfClient()
markdown = client.convert_file("report.pdf", mode="fast")

You can also pass the key explicitly in server-only code:

client = MarkpdfClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

The production API endpoint is:

https://api.markpdf.tech
