It handles authentication, request formatting, and result retrieval for converting documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), images, and web content to PDF or image formats, as well as PDF operations like merging, encryption, splitting, and repair. The package depends only on requests and communicates entirely with a remote API\u2014no local conversion engines are involved.\n\nYou configure it with an API token, then call convert() with a target format and input file (local path or URL), receiving a result object that lets you save files, retrieve conversion costs, or access raw response data. The service handles format detection automatically or accepts explicit source format specification, and supports format-specific parameters like page ranges and resolution.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need file format conversion and are willing to use a remote API service with associated costs. The package is straightforward to integrate and has no complex local dependencies. However, the aging maintenance status (last release 699 days ago) and reliance on an external paid service mean you should verify current ConvertAPI pricing and service terms before committing to production use."},"id":"convertapi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/convertapi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/convertapi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/convertapi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"convertapi","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Convert API Python Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":337420,"position":7450,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
