What [bpy.context] is needed to use/apply bpy.ops.geometry.attribute_convert?

Question

I want to write a script that combines all geometry in one collection into a single (separate) object. With all modifiers applied. I got most of it working but since I’m using geometry nodes to set UV coordinates in some of them, I need to convert the UVMap attribute beforehand for the joining to work properly.

Now the problem is everytime I call

bpy.ops.geometry.attribute_convert(mode='UV_MAP')

It says invalid context (or something like that)

I tried overriding object, active_object, selected_object and selected_editable_objects with the object(s) I that had the operator applied

First I thought it was because I was using evaluated meshes (which seem to play by their own rules, but even mesh_from_object (or whatever it’s called) didn’t help it

Operators in bpy.ops are for interactive use through the UI and should be avoided in scripts because they depend on context. Using them through scripts may yield unexpected results at best, or fail entirely at worst. Manipulate data directly from bpy.data instead. — Duarte Farrajota Ramos, Jul 18 '22 at 08:59
Yeah figured, I just hoped there would be a way around it cause iterating over thousands of vertices/face loops and copying data may not be the most efficient way — Jupahe64, Jul 18 '22 at 10:46
Just because you are manipulating the data directly doesn't mean you have to iterate over every vertex. You're just doing things like new_obj = obj.copy() rather than bpy.ops.object.duplicate(). — Jakemoyo, Jul 18 '22 at 15:44
