How to validate a GZIP Archive File in Python

Dealing with invalid files can be quite the hassle, so having a good file validation system is key in avoiding this issue. We have established a way to properly validate a GZIP Archive File in Python, that leaves out the hours of coding you might need to do yourself and hands out the results immediately.

Let’s get started, shall we?

Ok, first thing, we are going to install the Cloudmersive API Client:

pip install cloudmersive-convert-api-client

Next, we will have the Cloudmersive API Client call the function, so that your GZIP Archive Files can be validated:

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.ValidateDocumentApi(cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
input_file = '/path/to/file' # file | Input file to perform the operation on.
try:
# Validate a GZip Archive file (gzip or gz)
api_response = api_instance.validate_document_g_zip_validation(input_file)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling ValidateDocumentApi->validate_document_g_zip_validation: %s\n" % e)

The validation process is now complete!
