Convert Units API

What it does

Unit Converter converts a numeric value from one measurement unit to another. Send value, from_unit, and to_unit, and get the converted number back in a structured response.

Use it when your application accepts measurements in one unit but needs to store, display, or compare them in another. It fits common workflow needs like converting lengths, weights, volumes, temperatures, or similar compatible units before calculation or presentation.

The response includes the original from and to units, the input value, and the converted result. That makes it easy to log both sides of the conversion or pass the output into downstream pricing, shipping, engineering, or form-validation logic.

Unit Converter is a small utility endpoint for any system that handles user-entered measurements and needs consistent units without adding conversion logic to your codebase.

GET

Convert a numeric value between compatible measurement units

QUICKSTARTGUIDE

Quickstart

Convert a value from one unit to another by sending the required query parameters.

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/dosvak/unit-convert?value=100&from_unit=cm&to_unit=m" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN"

What you'll get back

Returns a JSON object with to, from, value, and result fields. to and from are the unit names, value is the original number, and result is the converted number.

{
  "to": "m",
  "from": "cm",
  "value": 100,
  "result": 1
}
