Converting files

Conversions are made by calling the following endpoint:

https://table.studio/api/v1/convert

You can specify input data via three sources:

File upload: Upload local files directly to the API. Ideal for large datasets or binary files, compatible with various formats.
URL: Provide input data via a URL. Processes data hosted online, allowing the API to fetch and convert data directly from web servers without local file storage.
Inline data or base64: For direct input, provide plain-text data, base64 encoding. Ideal for including binary formats (like PDF or Excel) when sending the request as JSON.

When converting files, you have several options to customize the process. Here are some key parameters you can use:

See all available formats and their options here.

input[format]: Specify the format of the input file (e.g., json, csv, avro)
input[file]: Used for file uploads
input[http][url]: Used when providing a URL for the input data
input[options]: Additional options specific to the input format (e.g., delimiter for CSV, flatten_objects for JSON)
