Now, firstly, we need to generate a JSON Web Token (JWT) based on our client credentials. So, please execute the following command to generate the JWT token.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=88d1cda8-b12c-4a80-b1ad-c85ac483c5c5&client_secret=406b404b2df649611e508bbcfcd2a77f" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \

-X PUT \
-F file=@{localFilePath} \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}"

Replace {filePath} with the path where you want to store the file in the cloud storage. Replace {localFilePath} with the path of input PDF on your local system Also, replace {accessToken} with your Aspose Cloud access token (generated above).

Finally, please execute the following command to convert PDF to EPUB and save the resultant e-Book on local drive.
