Overview

Api2Convert is an online file conversion API that supports converting between hundreds of formats including documents, images, audio, and video files. You submit a conversion job, poll for completion, and then download the output file. It is useful for automating document processing pipelines without installing local libraries.

Beginner Tip

File conversion is asynchronous — submit your job, store the returned job ID, then poll the job status endpoint until it shows "finished" before downloading your file.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Use case: Integrate online file conversion api data into web and mobile applications
Api2Convert data via REST API

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

JSON Response · Illustrative
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from Api2Convert",
    "description": "Online File Conversion API",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"

}

Field Reference

id Unique job identifier used to poll status and retrieve results.
status Current state of the conversion job: incomplete, processing, or finished.
output Array of output file objects available for download once the job finishes.
output[].uri Download URL for the converted output file.
output[].ext File extension of the converted output (e.g., pdf, mp4).

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://api.api2convert.com/v2/jobs";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized API key is missing or invalid.
Include your key in the x-oc-api-key request header.
Job status: failed The source file URL is inaccessible or the format combination is unsupported.
Ensure the source URL is publicly accessible and that the input/output format pair is listed in the supported conversions.
429 Too Many Requests Concurrent job limit exceeded on your plan.
Queue conversions sequentially or upgrade to a higher-tier plan with more parallel job slots.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
