About

This Utility API lets you extract the content of a word document.
Extracting text from a Word file can provide several benefits, including editing, data analysis, summarization, accessibility, and searchability. This API can help you to edit the content more easily, analyze large amounts of data, summarize the main points of the file, make the content more accessible, and find specific information more quickly.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
