Export a completed job

Export a completed generation job to PDF format. Returns a download URL.

The API routes to the correct export pipeline based on document type: canvas documents use the canvas pipeline (supports all formats); pageless documents use the pageless pipeline (pdf, html, png only — pptx and google-slides are not supported for pageless).

Parameters

job_id (path, required) — Job identifier.
format (query, optional, default pdf) — Export format: pdf, html, png, pptx, or google-slides. For pageless documents, only pdf, html, and png are supported.
Authorization (header, optional) — Bearer <API_KEY>.

Responses

400 — Validation error (e.g. unsupported format for pageless documents).
