Usage

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instructions and execute the following Java code:

import com.zamzar.api.ZamzarClient;
import com.zamzar.api.invoker.ApiException;

import java.io.File;

public class GettingStarted {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ApiException {
        // Signup for a Zamzar API Account or retrieve your existing API Key from https://developers.zamzar.com
        ZamzarClient zamzar = new ZamzarClient("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE");

        // Converts /tmp/example.docx to /tmp/example.pdf
        zamzar
            .convert(new File("/tmp/example.docx"), "pdf") // uploads and converts your file
            .store(new File("/tmp/")) // downloads the converted file
            .deleteAllFiles(); // removes your files (example.docx and example.pdf) from Zamzar's servers
    }
}

See the examples to learn more about how to use the Zamzar Java library.

Using the sandbox environment

Whilst developing your application, you can use the Zamzar sandbox environment to test your code without consuming production credits:

import com.zamzar.api.ZamzarClient;
import com.zamzar.api.ZamzarEnvironment;

ZamzarClient zamzar = new ZamzarClient("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE", ZamzarEnvironment.SANDBOX);

The Zamzar Java library uses the production environment by default, but you can also specify it explicitly:

import com.zamzar.api.ZamzarClient;
import com.zamzar.api.ZamzarEnvironment;

ZamzarClient zamzar = new ZamzarClient("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE", ZamzarEnvironment.PRODUCTION);

Logging

By default, the Zamzar Java library does not log HTTP requests and responses. To enable logging, configure a LoggingInterceptor; such as in this example.

Configuring timeouts and retries

The Zamzar Java library will automatically:

• time out long-running requests
• retry requests that fail or time out

The default settings are defined in ZamzarClient#getDefaultTransportBuilder().

To override these defaults, configure your own okhttp3.OkHttpClient and pass it to the ZamzarClient constructor:

OkHttpClient customHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .readTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .addInterceptor(/* your own retry interceptor */)
    .build();
ZamzarClient zamzar = new ZamzarClient("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE", customTransport);
