# DocRaptor integrations: documents

> Create a document in DocRaptor and start a workflow when DocRaptor sends “Document created”.

**Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/docraptor-integrations/
**Categories:** Documents and e-signature
**Connects through:** HTTP Connector

## Overview

DocRaptor is an API that converts HTML into PDF and Excel files, with synchronous or queued generation and optional hosted download links. Tray.ai connects to DocRaptor through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the DocRaptor API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Use cases

### Documents

Read and create documents in DocRaptor from any Tray.ai workflow. The DocRaptor API covers calls such as create a document and list created documents.

- Create a document
- List created documents

### Generation jobs

Read generation jobs in DocRaptor from any Tray.ai workflow. The DocRaptor API covers calls such as get job status and download a finished document.

- Get job status
- Download a finished document

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping DocRaptor credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store DocRaptor credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the DocRaptor API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the DocRaptor API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to DocRaptor?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to DocRaptor through the HTTP Connector, which calls the DocRaptor API directly. Any call the DocRaptor API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with DocRaptor?

The DocRaptor API uses basic authentication and an API key in the query string. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated DocRaptor connector?

DocRaptor runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated DocRaptor connector from the DocRaptor API.
