# AnythingMD API

> Convert PDFs, Office documents, spreadsheets and images into clean Markdown over HTTP.

<Info>
  **Preview.**
  The API is available to workspaces that have purchased credits. Endpoints and fields may still change before version 1.0; breaking changes are announced in advance.
</Info>

The AnythingMD API turns documents into Markdown that is ready for LLMs, search indexes and knowledge bases. It uses the same conversion engine, credits and prices as [anythingmd.com](https://anythingmd.com).

## How it works

Conversions are asynchronous:

1. **Start a job** with a document URL or an uploaded file.
2. **Poll the job** until it finishes. Each poll also moves the job forward.
3. **Download the outputs**: Markdown, and optionally the extracted images.
