How to validate a ZIP Archive in Python

Trying to validate a ZIP Archive can be tedious if you don’t have the right code. If you end up needing to create your own code, it might take hours to complete. We would like to help you avoid both of those situations and get you back to what you would really like to do. We have an API that can validate a ZIP Archive in Python for you.

Let’s walk through the steps really quick.

Step one: Install the Cloudmersive API:

pip install cloudmersive-convert-api-client

Step two: Have the Cloudmersive API run the function, so you can get back to what you want to be doing:

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 Zip Archive file (zip)
api_response = api_instance.validate_document_zip_validation(input_file)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling ValidateDocumentApi->validate_document_zip_validation: %s\n" % e)

Alright, all steps are now complete. Everything should be validated thanks to the Cloudmersive API.

Now it is time to get back to what is important.
