# Get converter status

> Checks whether the document converter binary can be resolved. Requires L0 authorization.

This endpoint verifies whether the Knowledge converter binary is available to the server runtime.

The converter is `familyco-py`, downloaded from:

* Repository: [omaicode/familyco-py](https://github.com/omaicode/familyco-py)
* Release assets: [latest release downloads](https://github.com/omaicode/familyco-py/releases/latest)

About `familyco-py`:

* It is a Python toolkit CLI used by FamilyCo for document preprocessing.
* Its current core module is `doc-convert` (Docling-based conversion and OCR).
* FamilyCo uses the converter output as the input for chunking and knowledge indexing.

Expected response shape:

{
	"installed": true,
	"path": "/absolute/path/to/familyco-py"
}
```
