Run the API yourself

Download the application source, extract it, install the .NET 10 SDK, and open a terminal in the extracted folder containing PdfGenerator.slnx.

Terminal · local development

dotnet restore PdfGenerator.slnx
$apiKey = [Convert]::ToHexString([Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator]::GetBytes(32))
dotnet user-secrets set 'Security:ApiKeys:0' $apiKey --project src/PdfGenerator.Api
Set-Clipboard -Value $apiKey
dotnet run --project src/PdfGenerator.Api --urls http://localhost:5000

Open http://localhost:5000 and paste the copied key into Studio. The repository launch profile uses port 5149 if you omit --urls. For production, follow docs/security.md in the source download: configure separate API keys, allowed hosts, HTTPS, proxy trust, and workload limits. Keep credentials in environment variables or a secret store.
