Don't have a saved template?

Convert files directly instead. You'll send uploadSettings and downloadSettings with each request.

After signing up and verifying your email, you will be able to create an API Token in your account settings.

The template supplies the source and target formats, so you only send its ID plus your data. Copy template IDs from your Saved Templates page and dataset IDs from your Datasets page.
