Let’s look at how to use one of our APIs to easily convert HTML to DOCX.

Install the convert API client using pip installer:

pip install git+https://github.com/Cloudmersive/Cloudmersive.APIClient.Python.Convert.git

Call convert_web_html_to_docx, which accepts an HTML string as its input:

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_convert_api_client
from cloudmersive_convert_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
# configuration.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ConvertWebApi(cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
input_request = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.HtmlToOfficeRequest() # HtmlToOfficeRequest |try:
    # HTML to DOCX
    api_response = api_instance.convert_web_html_to_docx(input_request)
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling ConvertWebApi->convert_web_html_to_docx: %s\n" % e)

And it’s just that easy! This function supports rich text formatting as well as images (we recommend using qualified URLs).
