API Documentation

Integrate the power of PlusConvert directly into your applications. Our developer API is designed to be robust, flexible, and easy to use.

Getting Started

To get started with the PlusConvert API, you will need an API key, which is available to all users on our Premium Plan. Once you have your key, you can begin making requests to our endpoints.

Core Concepts

Our API is built around a simple REST architecture. The core workflow involves:

  • Authentication: Authenticate your requests using your private API key passed in the request header.
  • Creating a Job: Submit a file and conversion parameters to the `/jobs` endpoint.
  • Checking Status: Poll the job's status using the unique ID returned in the creation step.
  • Retrieving the Output: Once the job is complete, download the resulting file from the secure URL provided.

Client Libraries

To make integration even easier, we provide official client libraries for popular languages, including JavaScript (Node.js), Python, and PHP. These libraries handle authentication, job management, and error handling for you.
