SwagClient client = api.getClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) client.getAuthentication('Apikey');
Apikey.setApiKey('YOUR API KEY');
Map<String, Object> params = new Map<String, Object>{
'inputFile' => Blob.valueOf('Sample text file\nContents')
};
try {
// cross your fingers
Blob result = api.convertDocumentDocxToPdf(params);
System.debug(result);
} catch (Swagger.ApiException e) {
// ...handle your exceptions
}
