# Document Format Converter

> Document Format Converter is a paid API for AI agents from api.the402.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.011/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Converts documents from one format to another, returning a job ID and status for async processing.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-the402-ai-8259877b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert my report.docx file to PDF format — submit it as a document conversion job and give me the job ID so I can track the result.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically convert documents between formats via a pay-per-use API with crypto micropayment (x402/USDC). Prefer it over manual conversion tools when you need automated, agent-driven document format transformation integrated into a workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported source or target format returns an error
- Missing or malformed document payload causes a 400 response
- Payment of $0.011 USDC not completed causes a 402 rejection
- Job submission succeeds but conversion fails asynchronously — check job status endpoint
- Invalid service ID or endpoint URL returns 404
