How to Convert EML to PNG in Swift

Converting EML files into images is not the easiest process to accomplish, especially if you’re attempting to parse them manually. Fortunately, we have a solution that can simplify and expedite the process; by utilizing the following API in Swfit, you will be able to convert that EML file to the more convenient PNG format in short order.

Now, we are going to call the function by inputting the EML file and API key into the below example code:

import Foundation
#if canImport(FoundationNetworking)
import FoundationNetworking
#endif
var semaphore = DispatchSemaphore (value: 0)
let parameters = [
     [
          "key": "inputFile",
          "src": "/path/to/file",
          "type": "file"
     ]] as [[String : Any]]
let boundary = "Boundary-\(UUID().uuidString)"
var body = ""
var error: Error? = nil
for param in parameters {
     if param["disabled"] == nil {
          let paramName = param["key"]!
          body += "--\(boundary)\r\n"
          body += "Content-Disposition:form-data; name=\"\(paramName)\""
          if param["contentType"] != nil {
               body += "\r\nContent-Type: \(param["contentType"] as! String)"
          }
          let paramType = param["type"] as! String
          if paramType == "text" {
               let paramValue = param["value"] as! String
               body += "\r\n\r\n\(paramValue)\r\n"
          } else {
               let paramSrc = param["src"] as! String
               let fileData = try NSData(contentsOfFile:paramSrc, options:[]) as Data
               let fileContent = String(data: fileData, encoding: .utf8)!
               body += "; filename=\"\(paramSrc)\"\r\n"
                 + "Content-Type: \"content-type header\"\r\n\r\n\(fileContent)\r\n"
          }
     }
}
body += "--\(boundary)--\r\n";
let postData = body.data(using: .utf8)
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://api.cloudmersive.com/convert/eml/to/png")!,timeoutInterval: Double.infinity)
request.addValue("multipart/form-data", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("YOUR-API-KEY-HERE", forHTTPHeaderField: "Apikey")
request.addValue("multipart/form-data; boundary=\(boundary)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = postData
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in 
     guard let data = data else {
          print(String(describing: error))
          semaphore.signal()
          return
     }
     print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
     semaphore.signal()
}
task.resume()
semaphore.wait()

And just like that, your process is complete!
