--- title: "Document Automation API & SDK: 6 SDKs" description: "REST API for document generation and e-signatures. 6 SDKs (JS, Python, Go, PHP, Java, Ruby), sub-100ms response, 99.9% uptime. Free tier included." url: "https://www.turbodocx.com/products/api-and-sdk" --- # Document Automation API & SDK > TurboDocx's document automation API generates a filled DOCX or PDF from a template in 1 call, using 6 published SDKs (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, Java, Ruby) that all wrap the same REST API. The same API key also sends the generated document for e-signature, so a platform can create and sign a contract without a second integration. Platform stats: 3,000+ documents generated, 6 published SDKs. ## Key Takeaways - **1 call** generates a document: `Deliverable.generateDeliverable()` takes a templateId and variables, and returns a filled DOCX. - **6 published** SDKs (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, Java, Ruby) are built on the same REST API. - **$0** Free plan includes 5 documents and 5 signatures a month; paid plans start at $10/mo. - **180,000+** downloads a month for the related open-source @turbodocx/html-to-docx package, free and independent of the paid API. ## Features - **REST API**: Generate documents, send signatures, and manage templates over simple HTTP endpoints. - **Webhooks**: Real-time notifications for signature events: sent, viewed, signed, completed, voided. - **Enterprise Security**: API keys, role-based access control, and audit logs for compliance. - **Structured Variables**: Fill templates with plain text or, for advanced templates, structured JSON for loops and conditionals. - **6 Published SDKs**: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, Java, and Ruby, all versioned together at 0.7.0. - **One Key, Two Modules**: Deliverable generates documents; TurboSign sends them for signature. Same API key, same SDK install. ## Install in one prompt (AI Agent install) Skip the boilerplate. Drop the TurboDocx SDK and `@turbodocx/html-to-docx` into any project with the open-source Agent Skill. It detects your language and framework, installs the package, configures env vars, and writes working integration code that matches your existing patterns. Works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. ```bash # both skills npx skills add TurboDocx/quickstart # in your editor /turbodocx-sdk ``` [Read the docs](https://docs.turbodocx.com/docs/SDKs/agent-skills) or [view on GitHub](https://github.com/TurboDocx/quickstart). See also the [Quickstart page](https://www.turbodocx.com/quickstart.md). ## Generate a Document From a Template The Deliverable module, straight from the official SDK examples (production ready). Examples are shown for TypeScript and Python. ### TypeScript SDK ```typescript // npm install @turbodocx/sdk import { Deliverable } from '@turbodocx/sdk'; Deliverable.configure({ apiKey: process.env.TURBODOCX_API_KEY, orgId: process.env.TURBODOCX_ORG_ID, }); const created = await Deliverable.generateDeliverable({ templateId: 'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID', name: 'Employee Contract - John Smith', variables: [ { placeholder: '{EmployeeName}', text: 'John Smith', mimeType: 'text' }, { placeholder: '{JobTitle}', text: 'Senior Software Engineer', mimeType: 'text' }, ], }); const pdf = await Deliverable.downloadPDF(created.results.deliverable.id); ``` ### Python SDK ```python # pip install turbodocx-sdk import asyncio, os from turbodocx_sdk import Deliverable async def generate(): Deliverable.configure( api_key=os.getenv("TURBODOCX_API_KEY"), org_id=os.getenv("TURBODOCX_ORG_ID"), ) created = await Deliverable.generate_deliverable( template_id="YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID", name="Employee Contract - John Smith", variables=[ {"placeholder": "{EmployeeName}", "text": "John Smith", "mimeType": "text"}, ], ) pdf = await Deliverable.download_pdf(created["results"]["deliverable"]["id"]) asyncio.run(generate()) ``` Need e-signatures on that document? Same API key, same SDK: send it with the TurboSign module. Full endpoints, pricing, and code samples are on the [E-Signature API](https://www.turbodocx.com/e-signature-api.md) page.

The $10/user/month Team plan raises that to 10 documents and 15 signatures a month. The $20/user/month Pro plan gives named users unlimited document generation, signatures, and AI credits in the app. ### Which SDKs does the TurboDocx API support? 6 published SDKs cover JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Java, all built on the same REST API and versioned together at 0.7.0. Each ships a Deliverable module for document generation and a TurboSign module for e-signatures, so one install covers both. Install with npm, pip, composer, Go modules, or Maven Central. ### Can the API generate DOCX and PDF documents from templates? 1 API call generates a document: Deliverable.generateDeliverable() takes a templateId and a list of variables, such as a placeholder like {EmployeeName}, and returns a filled DOCX. A second call, Deliverable.downloadPDF(), converts it to PDF. Variables accept plain text or, for advanced templates, structured JSON for loops, conditionals, and nested data. ### Does the document automation API include e-signatures, or is that separate? 1 platform, 2 capabilities: the same API key and SDK generate documents with the Deliverable module and send them for signature with the TurboSign module, so a contract can be created, sent, and signed without switching tools or credentials. For endpoints, pricing, and code samples focused only on signing, see /e-signature-api. ### Is TurboDocx open source? 180,000+ downloads a month on npm: @turbodocx/html-to-docx is a free, MIT-licensed package that converts HTML to Word documents in Node.js, independent of the paid API and usable without a TurboDocx account. It runs standalone in any Node.js project or alongside the TurboDocx SDK, and its source is public on GitHub. ## Related Resources - [E-Signature API](https://www.turbodocx.com/e-signature-api.md): Endpoints, pricing, and quickstarts focused only on the signing API. - [Developer Hub](https://www.turbodocx.com/developers.md): All TurboDocx SDKs, quickstarts, and the AI agent install skill in one place. - [Full SDK Reference](https://docs.turbodocx.com/docs/SDKs): API reference and guides for all SDK languages on docs.turbodocx.com.
