  "markdown": "CloudConvert API scores 63.9 (B) on agent readiness against DocRaptor's 53.3 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Both do pdf conversion.\n\n- CloudConvert API: grade B, 63.9/100, rank #445 of 1349. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/cloudconvert.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/cloudconvert.json\n- DocRaptor: grade D, 53.3/100, rank #841 of 1349. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/docraptor.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/docraptor.json\n- Best PDF manipulation and conversion APIs for AI agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/pdf-tools/index.md\n- All 43 pdf comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pdf-tools/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### CloudConvert API (B)\n\nGood for: An agent that converts between many file formats, merges to PDF, or needs OCR, PDF/A, encryption and page operations in one job, with storage on S3, Azure or Google Cloud.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 80 against 68\n- Security \u0026 auth, 71 against 41\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 58 against 21\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 75 against 69\n\nWatch for: No OpenAPI document and no API changelog were found. The blog has one post since August 2024\n\n### DocRaptor (D)\n\nGood for: Agents that already have HTML and CSS and need print-quality PDFs with Prince's paged-media support, or an XLSX from an HTML table.\n\nWatch for: One API key per account with no scopes, and the docs still offer it as the `user_credentials` query parameter\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: CloudConvert API +37\n\n- CloudConvert API (58): cloudconvert-cli 3.0.2 was published to npm on 21 October 2026 and adds an `ai/agent` command for the new AI tasks, which the privacy policy's dated entry of 19 October also records (30). In the 90 days from 3 August, the MCP server launch post (3 September), and Java 1.2.5, Ruby 1.2.0 (both 24 August) and CLI 3.0.2, the package tags counted half, so 2.5. The privacy policy's dated entry of 19 October records a policy text, not a release, and the `ai/agent` launch it describes is already counted through CLI 3.0.2 (0). No changelog. Support is a contact form and email, and dependency pull requests on the Java and CLI repositories were merged on 5 October and 23 October 2026. Issue replies were not read (8 of 15). Six official SDKs, four released in 2026. The Node.js SDK's last tag is still April 2025 (3.0.0) and the Python SDK's March 2022, and the MCP server is not in the official registry, searched on 1 November (12). Every SDK repository has a test workflow (8). 30 + 0 + 8 + 12 + 8 = 58.\n- DocRaptor (21): Read as a closed service with open-source clients. The last dated product change found is the changelog entry of 5 September 2023, and the client libraries were last tagged in 2023 (docraptor-python 3.1.0 on 19 July 2023, npm docraptor 1.0.1 on 28 December 2023); the about and security pages were rewritten after the October 2025 acquisition but carry no dated API change (0). No releases in the last 90 days (0). Support by email, site chat and a help centre with stated hours, and a per-document help request from the dashboard; GitHub issue replies couldn't be read (8 of 15). Official clients in six languages exist and still match the API, but none has shipped since 2023 (10). The Python client pins 2023 dependencies and its test suite runs through tox with no CI workflow in the repository (3). 0 + 0 + 8 + 10 + 3 = 21.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: CloudConvert API +30\n\n- CloudConvert API (71): API keys are created with any of six scopes and can be revoked, and OAuth 2.0 issues tokens for third-party clients, though the implicit grant is still supported and no key rotation is documented. Signed URLs carry an HMAC signature, not the key (27). A key limited to `task.read` is read-only, and the MCP server asks for three scopes, one of them `task.write`, plus the two webhook scopes for its webhook tools. No confirmation step for deletes (12). Results come back as download links, and the `metadata` and `capture-website` operations handle untrusted content. The MCP page tells users to connect only the official URL, with no prompt-injection guidance (6). The security page says all access is logged and reviewable by the customer in activity logs, and jobs can be filtered by API key (11). ISO 27001 from TÜV Süd, and a valid security.txt (re-read on 1 November, Expires 2027-05-01) with a disclosure policy and rewards only at CloudConvert's discretion, so no formal bounty. No public advisories and nothing on OSV for the SDK packages. That's above ahasend's 12 (ISO 27001 and a disclosure route, no security.txt) (15). 27 + 12 + 6 + 11 + 15 = 71.\n- DocRaptor (41): One API key per account with no scopes, sent as the HTTP Basic username, and the docs offer `user_credentials` in the query string as a second method, which costs the 10 points for a secret in a URL (0 of 30). Test mode limits spend but there is no read-only key, and the destructive action, expiring a hosted document, needs no confirmation (6). The API renders the caller's HTML and returns a PDF or spreadsheet, not text for the model to read (10). The dashboard's document log records each job with input, output and log when the account's retention allows, and an IP listing API exists; no per-key audit log (8). SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA BAAs, annual third-party penetration tests, a vulnerability disclosure policy with security@docraptor.com and DPF registration, but no security.txt (17). 0 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 17 = 41.\n\n### Reliability: CloudConvert API +12\n\n- CloudConvert API (80): Graded as a hosted service. Status page at status.cloudconvert.com (Better Stack) with nine components and 90-day bars (20). The incident list and RSS feed, re-read on 1 November, add one incident since 9 October, \"iWork and Web are down\" on 12 October. iWork recovered within two minutes and Web, the web interface rather than the API, recovered at 11:51 UTC on 13 October. With the EU Central slowdown on 8 October (from about 15:25 to 16:45 UTC), the US East, iWork and EU Central alert on 14 September and the other short incidents since 3 August, each touched one region, one conversion type or one component, so minor incidents only (20). Limits on creating jobs and tasks are described as dynamic, with `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` headers and a free-plan cap of 5 concurrent tasks. The new `ai/agent` tasks have a fixed 6 requests a minute and 60 an hour, but the main endpoints have no fixed number per plan (8). A 429 carries `Retry-After` in seconds and the docs say CloudConvert retries retryable errors itself. No idempotency key (12). The terms promise 99.9 per cent monthly uptime with refunds on paid plans, re-read on 1 November (10). API v2 is generally available and the MCP server carries no beta label. Only the new `ai/agent` task is marked beta (10). 20 + 20 + 8 + 12 + 10 + 10 = 80.\n- DocRaptor (68): Read with the hosted lines. status.docraptor.com is an Atlassian Statuspage with components (20). Its front page reported no incidents on any of the days it lists, the history page needs JavaScript our reader lacks, and history.rss redirects to an inactive feed, so the record is clean for the days we could read and unread beyond them (20). The limits page gives numbers, 60 seconds synchronous, 600 asynchronous, 30 simultaneous requests and 100 MB hosted output (15). Too many simultaneous requests answer 403 with no Retry-After or backoff guidance, callbacks are retried up to three times, and there is no idempotency key (3). No SLA found; the about page's 99.99 per cent uptime is a marketing figure and the terms are unread (0). GA (10). 20 + 20 + 15 + 3 + 0 + 10 = 68.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: CloudConvert API +6\n\n- CloudConvert API (75): Closed service with terms (12 April 2022) that cover API use, and MIT SDKs (18). The privacy policy, now dated 19 October 2026, gives 24 hours for files, 72 hours for account data after deletion and 180 days for logs, which agrees with the docs' 24-hour task deletion. The 19 October update adds the AI chat and AI tasks, an AI log of requests, file names and results kept 180 days and used to fix errors and to evaluate and train the AI models for these functions, with an opt-out in the dashboard that deletes existing logs, which the AI docs repeat. A DPA is signed on request (25). No deprecation policy. The terms give 30 days' notice only if the whole service is discontinued, and the operations endpoint flags deprecated engine versions (5). Hosting, payment, support and AI companies are named with addresses (Claude through Amazon Bedrock in EU data centres, Qwen through OVHcloud), and regions are Germany and Virginia, with no separate sub-processor list (16). 18 + 25 + 5 + 16 = 64.\n- DocRaptor (69): Closed service; the terms render through a script and were not read, the client libraries are MIT (12). The security FAQ states retention options, that logs hold metadata only, that content isn't used for model training and that metadata may be used for analytics, and the privacy policy on artifex.com of 19 November 2025 names the entities; the sub-processor list is a help-centre page that rendered empty for our reader (18). Pipelines 1 to 7 were deprecated with a dated notice in 2020 and pipeline versions are selectable, but there is no written notice period (12). AWS us-east-1 is named as the processing location and the FAQ says customers are emailed when the sub-processor list changes, though the list itself was unread (12). 12 + 18 + 12 + 12 = 54.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | CloudConvert API | DocRaptor | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 80 | 68 | CloudConvert API +12 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 59 | 62 | DocRaptor +3 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 61 | 63 | DocRaptor +2 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 71 | 41 | CloudConvert API +30 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 35 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 58 | 21 | CloudConvert API +37 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 75 | 69 | CloudConvert API +6 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **63.9 · B** | **53.3 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | CloudConvert API | DocRaptor |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | CloudConvert (Lunaweb GmbH) | DocRaptor, LLC (Artifex Software) |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.cloudconvert.com/v2` | `https://api.docraptor.com/docs` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under CloudConvert's terms of service.

No OpenAPI document or changelog was found, the per-credit price is drawn by a script, and the MCP server now lists 34 tools with no subsets.\n\n**DocRaptor.** One POST turns HTML into a print-quality PDF or an Excel file, with published limits, free watermarked test documents and clients in seven languages. The single key can travel in a query string, there is no idempotency key, the terms page needs JavaScript our reader lacks, and nothing dated has changed since 2023.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CloudConvert API\n\n1. Build each job from an import task, one or more processing tasks and an `export/url` task, then read the download links from the export task's `result.files`\n2. Call `GET /v2/operations` with `include=options` to find the options a format pair accepts before creating a `convert` task\n3. Do not retry a failed task automatically. CloudConvert retries retryable errors itself, and a retry endpoint creates a new task\n4. Download output within 24 hours. Tasks, files and export URLs are deleted after that\n5. Use `https://sandbox.api.cloudconvert.com/v2` for tests. It consumes no credits and accepts only a fixed set of approved test files\n6. Turn off the AI log in the dashboard's AI settings before sending prompts or file names that shouldn't be kept for 180 days\n\n### DocRaptor\n\n1. Send the key as the HTTP Basic username with a blank password, never as `user_credentials` in the URL, and send `test: true` while iterating since test documents are free and watermarked\n2. Use `async: true` for documents that may take more than 60 seconds, then poll `/status/{status_id}` until `completed` and fetch `download_url` within the account's retention period\n3. Treat a 403 as either a permission problem or more than 30 simultaneous requests; back off and retry rather than fail the task\n4. JavaScript errors and, on pipelines before 7, console messages fail the document; set `javascript: true` only when the HTML needs it and define `docraptorJavaScriptFinished()` for async scripts\n5. Do not retry a synchronous POST blindly after a timeout; check the document log or listing first, since each success counts against the monthly quota\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CloudConvert API or DocRaptor?\n\nCloudConvert API scores 63.9 (B) on agent readiness against DocRaptor's 53.3 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do CloudConvert API and DocRaptor need an API key?\n\nCloudConvert API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. DocRaptor needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call CloudConvert API and DocRaptor without installing anything?\n\nYes.
