How to validate a Word DOCX Document in Python

While DOCX validation might be very important, it sure is boring to write in Python. And that is why I am here today: to rescue from your tedious fate! My rescue comes in the form of sharing an API that can handle all your validation needs for document files. Let’s begin.

First step: pip install the client.

ip install cloudmersive-convert-api-client

Time for calling the validate_document_docx_validation function.

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 Word document (DOCX)
api_response = api_instance.validate_document_docx_validation(input_file)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling ValidateDocumentApi->validate_document_docx_validation: %s\n" % e)

Wow, that sure was easy. Aren’t you glad you didn’t waste your time trying to set that up manually?
