How do I generate a kpi dashboard PDF from JSON?

Send a POST to /api/v1/generate with your API key, the template id and a JSON body shaped like the sample on this page; DocuJSON renders the kpi dashboard and returns the PDF. The same template is callable from the DocuJSON MCP server inside Claude, Cursor or your own agent.

What data does the kpi dashboard template need?

The JSON body has 4 top-level keys: title, subtitle, metrics, sections.

Which designs does the kpi dashboard template come in?

Five, all free: base, ledger, instrument, rail, form. The same JSON body renders in all of them, so you can switch the design of your kpi dashboard without changing your integration.

Is the kpi dashboard template free?

Yes. Every template and every design is free, with a small DocuJSON watermark on the free plan. Pro removes the watermark, puts your logo where the DocuJSON mark sits in the kpi dashboard preview, and unlocks configurable variables and higher volume.
