Node.js Conversion Tutorial

// Simple script to make and process the results of a Conversion request to the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.
// In order to run this script, the following changes will need to be added:
//	1) Place your Application ID in the user portion of the getRequestOptions method.
//	2) Place your Application Password in the password portion of the getRequestOptions method.
//
// The script will perform the following operations in order:
//	1)Perform a Conversion request to the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.  A successfully made request will return a unique identifier.
//	2)We will then query the services using the GUID -- if the file is finished processing, the body will contain all the
//	  request data.
//	3)We will take the json data that was returned, parse it, and display all the information that was returned.
//
// This script makes use of the following NodeJS libraries:
//  1) Request - More information about this library can be found here: https://github.com/request/request
//  2) File System - More information about this library can be found here: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

const request = require('request');

//If uploading a file as multi-part content, we will need the file-system library installed.
//const fs = require('fs');

//We will be uploading the file via a URl.  Files can also be passed by adding a PostFile to the request.  Only 1 file will be accepted per request.
