Get Started
This tutorial will show you how to use the Media.io API to convert a file’s format. There are only five short steps involved:

1. Obtain an API key

Every request to the Media.io API must include a key, so that we can identify you.

Once you have signed up for an account, you can get an API key by visiting the key management page of your developer portal.


2. Start a import

Upload the files you want to convert or compress to the "upload" interface. For more, please click.


3. Chose a job

The Media.io API service offers conversion and compression of audio, video and images. Choose the interface you needed. For more, please click.

The operation performed on each file is called a "task".


4. Get the task status and information

Once the task is running, you can send a request for the progress of the conversion or compression task. For more, please click.


5. Export the file

Once the task has finished, you need to send one final request to download the converted or compressed file. For more, please click.
