Body for POST /api/conversion/v1/conversion. The four ID fields are required. Obtain the ID values from the formats catalogue (GET /api/conversion/v1/file_formats and GET /api/conversion/v1/file_formats/types). **`additional_arguments` MUST be sent as an explicit empty object `{}` when not used.** Do not omit the field and do not send `null` — the underlying JSONB column rejects absent/null values at the database layer. This is a known service-side constraint, not a schema requirement; the service does not return a validation error on omission in all cases, but passing `{}` is the only safe behaviour for conformant clients.
