How to Fill Data in a DocX Table Automatically & Return Result using Java

The ability to change documents on the fly is an extremely useful service to have within an application. This type of service is helpful when client-side users need to input and change information within a standardized document and extract the document with their own custom information (i.e., filling out a form). Our DocX Fill Data API makes it possible to easily replace placeholder rows in a table within a DocX document using one or more templates. All that’s needed is the input file URL & data, the table start & end tags, and of course a string including the new data for the specified table. Below, we’ll quickly demonstrate how you can structure an API call with Java.

First, let’s install the Java SDK. Begin by including a reference in the pom.xml repository:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

After that, add one to the pom.xml dependency:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.Cloudmersive</groupId>
    <artifactId>Cloudmersive.APIClient.Java</artifactId>
    <version>v4.25</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Now installation is complete. Next, you can add your import classes to the top of the file, then call the API:

// Import classes:
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.TransformDocumentApi;
ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.setApiKeyPrefix("Token");
TransformDocumentApi apiInstance = new TransformDocumentApi();
DocxTableTableFillRequest request = new DocxTableTableFillRequest(); // DocxTableTableFillRequest | 
try {
    byte[] result = apiInstance.transformDocumentDocxTableFillIn(request);
    System.out.println(result);
} catch (ApiException e) {
    System.err.println("Exception when calling TransformDocumentApi#transformDocumentDocxTableFillIn");
    e.printStackTrace();
}
