  DefinitionFiles:
    - Type: URL
      Url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fernandofatech/diagram-as-code/main/definitions/definition-for-aws-icons-light.yaml"

    Bucket:
      Type: AWS::S3::Bucket`

const response = await fetch('https://dac.moretes.com/api/generate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ yaml, format: 'drawio' }),
})

if (!response.ok) {
  const { error } = await response.json()
  throw new Error(error)
}

const xml = await response.text()

Integration notes

  • The request body expects a DAC YAML string, not a file upload.
  • Format defaults to png when omitted. Use pdf for document output or drawio for editable output.
  • When generation fails, the endpoint returns a JSON error payload.
  • The endpoint is suitable for browser, server-to-server, and agent workflows.
