# Convert content ids to content types

`POST /content/convert-ids-to-types`

Converts a list of content ids into their associated content types. This is useful for users migrating from v1 to v2
who may have stored just content ids without their associated type. This will return types as they should be used in v2.
Notably, this will return `inline-comment` for inline comments and `footer-comment` for footer comments, which is distinct from them
both being represented by `comment` in v1.

**[Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/_AozKw) required**:
Permission to view the requested content. Any content that the user does not have permission to view or does not exist will map to `null` in the response.
