Develop an API #177

I need a resume to be integrated to my portfolio using an API. I am also developing a job sites and job application bot which would need resume to be generated by the system.

An API that gets JSON file and Template Name from user and responds with a Resume in PDF/HTML would be helpful.

Hey @MalonzaElkanah! I agree this would be really cool to have, it's something I may look into after I launch v3. I've been hesitant on doing this up til now due to the fact that I am already losing a little money every month on keeping Resumake running. I don't really want to have to additionally worry about people possibly abusing this API and potentially affecting server load and stuff for regular Resumake users too.

Ideally I would have some other server/infrastructure for this public API itself so I wouldn't have to worry about it but then I have to worry about the extra costs of that as well 😅
