File Format API
What is it?
Sometimes engineers find themselves needing to work in different programs, or deliver their files for someone else to consume in a different format. That's where File Format API crawls in. It provides an easy way for developers to integrate CAD file format conversion directly into any application.
In some cases those files require further analysis before being declared ok to send - and we've got that covered too.
The API provides a variety of analytical functions you can perform on the various file formats, such as mass or volume calculations, with a growing toolset.
REST Easy
Zoo's assortment of APIs are all designed with utmost simplicity in mind, and
File Format API is no exception. A simple HTTP request to /file/conversion/{input_format}/{output_format}
is enough to convert between CAD file formats. We're confident there isn't anything easier!
Need to know the volume? Just as easy! /file/volume?src_format=value&output_unit=value
Designing this API around simple web requests makes CAD file format conversion and analysis allows even most inexperienced developers to take advantage of it.
Powerful Remote Compute
As with all other Zoo APIs, File Format API leverages the remote compute we offer to all users so even the heaviest, most complicated CAD models and assemblies can be converted between formats even while on the go.
