How to Finish Editing a Document in Swift

In the previous tutorial, we demonstrated how you can open up a document for various editing operations in Swift, and in this tutorial, we will show you how you can close things out. After you have completed the changes to your document, you can use the following API to call the finish editing function and download your updated result.

All you will need is your API key and the editing URL that was generated in the begin-editing process to input into the below example code:

import Foundation
#if canImport(FoundationNetworking)
import FoundationNetworking
#endif
var semaphore = DispatchSemaphore (value: 0)
let parameters = "InputFileUrl=%3Cstring%3E"
let postData =  parameters.data(using: .utf8)
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://api.cloudmersive.com/convert/edit/finish-editing")!,timeoutInterval: Double.infinity)
request.addValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("YOUR-API-KEY-HERE", forHTTPHeaderField: "Apikey")
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()
