Font conversion API allows you to easily convert between various font formats using REST API. ttf,otf,svg,pfa,pfb, svg, woff,woff2, eot, ufo and several other formats are supported..
http://font.rest/
Currently we support API Key based authentication. Please set a request header 'X-EverythingFonts-Api-Secret' with value of your API key. Alternatively you can also pass api_key= as a request parameter, though we strongly discourage this mode of passing the key.
To do any operations on a font file it has to be added to our system first. This will exist in your account and no one else can see or access this resource. Once you add the file you can refer to the font using the id returned from the API call.
Add the font to the system.
Parameters| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| font | binary | Font file to upload. |
To add a font to the system do a post with the font file attached to the following url.
http://font.rest/font.json
Here is an example of adding a font using CURL to post to the API
curl -v -i -X POST -H 'X-EverythingFonts-Api-Secret: <api_key>' -F font=@myraid.ttf http://font.rest/font.json
The above call if successful will return a json response something like this.
{
"success": {
"total": 1
},
"contents": {
"id": "BMruFarhaMcvj6oGeAb62itgeF"
}
}
The id in the contents is the font id that you should use in any of the subsequent calls.
To list the fonts in the system use the following API.
http://font.rest/font/list.json
By using the parameter "start" you can browse all the fonts(that you have added before) in the system. Use the parameter "public" to control whether to include public fonts or not in your list.
http://font.rest/font/list.json?start=10&public=0
Here is an example of listing the fonts using curl.
curl -X GET -H 'X-Everythingfonts-Api-Secret:' "http://font.rest/font/list?start=10&public=0"
The above command will return a result something like the following.
{
"success": {
"total": "75",
"count": 11,
"range": {
"start": 10,
"end": 21
}
},
"contents": {
"contents": [
{
"name": "IM FELL French Canon PRO Regular",
"id": "RQMdiZs_C7IdyHPBV_FpGAeF",
"private": "1",
"created_on": "2014-12-18 19:20:23"
},
{
"name": "IM FELL French Canon PRO Italic",
"id": "i79KlUe2mpnLKg2I9kAWIAeF",
"private": "1",
"created_on": "2014-12-18 19:20:23"
} ...
]
}
}
Convert one font format to another.
Parameters| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| targetformat | string | Target format you want to convert to. |
| id | string | Font id. Part of the API route. |
| binaryresult | boolean | Return converted file in binary format, the default is base64 json response. |
http://font.rest/font/{fontid}/convert.json
Here is an example of converting the above ttf font to otf. Since binaryresult is set to 0 the converted file will be returned as part of a json object as base64 encoded string.
curl -v -i -X POST -H 'X-EverythingFonts-Api-Secret: <api_key>' -d targetformat=otf -d binaryresult=0 http://font.rest/font/BMruFarhaMcvj6oGeAb62itgeF/convert.json
