Overview

This node integrates with CloudConvert to manage file conversion jobs. It supports operations to create new jobs, retrieve all jobs, get details of a specific job, and delete jobs. It is useful for automating file format conversions, managing conversion workflows, and handling job results programmatically. For example, users can create a job to convert files, list all jobs filtered by status or tag, or fetch details of a particular job for monitoring or further processing.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a job to convert files with a specific job definition JSON.
2. List all jobs filtered by status (e.g., finished) or by a custom tag.
3. Get details of a specific job by its ID.
4. Delete a job by its ID.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the job.
• status - Current status of the job.
• tag - Custom tag associated with the job.
• tasks - List of tasks included in the job, such as import, conversion, and export tasks.
• created_at - Timestamp when the job was created.
• updated_at - Timestamp when the job was last updated.

Dependencies

• CloudConvert API

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the CloudConvert API credentials are correctly configured and valid.
• If filtering by status or tag returns no results, verify the filter values are correct and that jobs matching those filters exist.
• For synchronous job creation with download enabled, large jobs may cause timeouts or performance issues; consider using asynchronous calls with webhooks instead.
