How to Convert HTML to DOCX in C/C++
Solutions for high-fidelity conversions between common document formats are hard to come by. Thankfully, using the below code, you can incorporate a free HTML to DOCX conversion API into any of your C/C++ applications. This makes it easy to transition web content into readable/editable word processing format.
You’ll first need to install libcurl in your project:
libcurl/7.75.0
And after that you can copy the following code examples to structure your API call:
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.cloudmersive.com/convert/html/to/docx");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, "https");
struct curl_slist *headers = NULL;
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Apikey: YOUR-API-KEY-HERE");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);
const char *data = "Html=%3Cstring%3E";
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
Nice and easy! To authorize your requests for free, you’ll need a free-tier Cloudmersive API key (this allows up to 800 API calls per month with no additional commitment).
