Let’s explore the details on how our Cloud SDK is designed for high performance and accuracy, ensuring that the resulting Word documents mirror the source HTML content.

  1. Create an instance of Configuration class where we pass client credentials as arguments.
var configurations = new Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);
  1. Initialize the ConvertApi where we pass Configuration object as an input argument.
var apiInstance = new ConvertApi(configurations);
  1. Upload the input HTML file to the cloud storage.
fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("sourceFile.html", stream));
  1. Create an instance ConvertSettings where we specify the name for input HTML, resultant format as doc and the name for resultant Word document as arguments.
var settings = new ConvertSettings{...}
  1. Call the ConvertDocumentRequest API to embed HTML to DOC format and save the resultant Word document to the cloud storage.
var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocument(new ConvertDocumentRequest(settings));

Convert HTML to DOCX using cURL Commands

The conversion of HTML to DOCX using GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud and cURL commands is a straightforward and efficient process, especially for those who prefer command-line tools for automation. Therefore, by leveraging the power of .NET REST API, you get a highly accurate and reliable conversion, ensuring your HTML content is seamlessly transformed into an editable DOC document.

The first step in this approach is to generate a JWT access token and then, execute the following cURL command to transform webpage to Word document and save the resultant DOCX in cloud storage.

curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"StorageName\": \"default\",  \"FilePath\": \"{sourceFile}\",  \"Format\": \"docx\",\"OutputPath\": \"{resultantFile}\"}"

Please replace sourceFile with the name of input HTML file, resultantFile with the name of resultant Word document and accessToken with personalized JWT access token.

  • In order to save the resultant Word document on local drive, please try using the following cURL command.
curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"StorageName\": \"default\",  \"FilePath\": \"{sourceFile}\",  \"Format\": \"docx\"}" \
-o "{resultantFile}"
