Quick Start

Start converting files to AI-ready Markdown with these simple examples. Choose the method that works best for your application.

Form Data Upload (Recommended)

Upload files directly using multipart form data. Most efficient method for file uploads.

curl -X POST https://api.markdownconverters.com/api/v1/convert \
 -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
 -F "file=@document.pdf"
Base64 Encoding

Send file content as base64-encoded string within JSON payload. Useful for API integrations.

curl -X POST https://api.markdownconverters.com/api/v1/convert \
 -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '{
 "source_type": "file",
 "file": "base64_encoded_content"
 }'
URL-based Conversion

Convert files directly from publicly accessible URLs. Perfect for web scraping and content processing.
