How do I import my Family Search tree into Geneanet?

I do not want to be re-typing all that is already in my Family Search Tree.

You can export a GEDCOM file from your FamilySearch family tree then import it to Geneanet at https://my.geneanet.org/arbre/

According to FamilySearch.org, you cannot download a GEDCOM file from FamilySearch.org (https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GEDCOM).

Do you know of a way to download a GEDCOM file that FamilySearch hasn't documented? The only way I have found is to use one of the Family Tree certified programs, i.e. Ancestral Quest, Legacy Family Tree, or RootsMagic to import data from FamilySearch into one of those programs and then create a GEDCOM from there. See https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1_1g7j-PaGANF9xZUtDYU9FMEU/view for detailed instructions.

For many reasons, it would be much better to have a direct connection between Geneanet and FamilySearch, rather than having to go through many steps. I know that third party developers (like Geneanet) can get an SDK that allows to access information from FamilySearch (I have played with that SDK).

Actually, family trees can't be synchronized between FamilySearch and Geneanet. You must use a third party software to export a GEDCOM file from FamilySearch. There are some free ones.
