This walkthrough demonstrates how to use Pablle's API to automatically generate certificates at scale, turning a template-based approach into a streamlined automation workflow.

Watch the walkthrough

1) Start with a certificate template

Set up a professional certificate template with all the necessary branding, layout, and placeholders. Your template should include:

  • Company branding and logos
  • Certificate title and styling
  • Dynamic placeholders for student information
  • Course details and completion date fields
  • Professional layout and typography

Keep templates flexible with clear placeholder areas for:

  • Student's name
  • Course title
  • Completion date
  • Any additional course-specific information

2) Get your API credentials

Navigate to your Pablle user section and copy your personal API key. This key authenticates your requests and ensures secure access to the certificate generation service.

Your API key is essential for:

  • Authenticating requests to Pablle's generate endpoint
  • Maintaining security and access control
  • Tracking usage and managing quotas

3) Make API requests

Using tools like Postman or any HTTP client, create a simple POST request to Pablle's generate endpoint. Include:

  • Your API key for authentication
  • The certificate template ID
  • Dynamic field values (student name, course title, completion date)

Example request structure:

{
  "templateId": "your-certificate-template-id",
  "fields": {
    "studentName": "John Doe",
    "courseTitle": "Advanced Web Development",
    "completionDate": "2025-01-15"
  }
}

4) Get instant results

Once you send the request, Pablle instantly generates the certificate and returns:

  • A direct image link to the generated certificate
  • High-quality, print-ready output
  • Consistent branding across all certificates

The entire process takes seconds, making it perfect for:

  • Bulk certificate generation
  • Integration with learning management systems
  • Automated course completion workflows

5) Scale across platforms

The generated certificates are ready to use from any application or service. You can:

  • Download certificates directly
  • Integrate with existing LMS platforms
  • Automate certificate delivery via email
  • Store certificates in your preferred system

Why this approach works

  • Consistency: Every certificate maintains your brand standards
  • Efficiency: Generate hundreds of certificates in minutes
  • Integration: Works with any system that can make HTTP requests
  • Quality: Professional, print-ready output every time

Try it with your own certificates

  1. Design your certificate template in Pablle
  2. Set up your API credentials
  3. Create a simple integration script
  4. Generate certificates at scale for your courses or programs

This automation transforms certificate generation from a manual, time-consuming process into a streamlined, scalable solution that maintains professional quality while saving significant time and resources.
