How Converting.to's API is effective

Converting.to makes using our API easy and efficient without having to read through pages of documentation just to get it working for you. With a straightforward and put together API you will have all of your stuff good to go just as fast as we are able to convert over your files!

How can it help you though?

With our API you are able to hook it onto numerous things, this can range from a discord bot to your own site. Discord bots have grown over the last few years and with the ability to send and receive discord messages with them our API will allow you to offer your discord members or friends to change up their files without even needing to leave the comfort of your server! Getting the bot set up and good to go isn't hard either as our API is made to plug and go into your bot as long as you have everything on your end set up and ready to go!

What about your own site?

While I don't think management would want me to share this. Our API would be ready to go if you wanted to add a section on your own site to allow users to convert their files over saving them the time of having to visit us directly and still getting their files all converted over! This will still cost you the same as if you used the API for a discord bot with each conversion being 1 API credit as long as the conversion is under 1 MB in size.

When setting up our API the only change you need to make is to the API key area where all you need to do is plug in your own API so that it knows what account is using the API and can keep track of your credits when using it! With our nifty little dashboard too, which makes it that much easier to just set up the API and let it run as you need, a quick check here and there on the site is all you would need to make sure you have enough API credits and when you need to refill them as you use them!

Unlike our competitors who either charge to get access to our API or charge monthly fees which limit how many files you are able to convert each month, we have a system that allows you to freely access and use the API with a low cost per transfer of just 1 cent! This system allows you to use converting.to's API without being tied down to a monthly limit or a monthly subscription even if you don't need to use it that month.

How would you like to see our API expanded in the future and what kind of file types would you like to see added to the site? We have an amazing discord server and a Twitter @convertingto where you can make suggestions for the site! We hope to see what kind of files you convert in the future!

Quick Fact: APIs became popular to use back in the early 2000s and have continued to grow since then!
