If you want to open a text file and work with the data in plain-text format, you can do it using the most basic features of the cURL language and operating system. As for reading office documents, presented in a wide variety of file formats (DOCX, DOC, PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, etc.), this task is more difficult to solve, since such documents are described by complex tree-like data structures within the DOM model.
Our cURL library is a cloud-based solution that will allow you to open documents in any office and web format. This distributed approach gives you flexibility in software development using cURL language, as all resource-intensive document processing will take place on Aspose servers. All you need is to get private keys to access Cloud API in cURL code.
You can iterate over document elements, or you can search for specific elements in the DOM tree. We provide a wide range of cURL functions both for working with the structure of the document and with the data contained in the document nodes.
The following cURL code example will help you quickly figure out how to load a document and perform some actions on it.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v4.0/words/storage/file/Input.docx" \
-X PUT \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ####################" \
-F FileContent="@file://%FileName%"
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v4.0/words/Input.docx/{nodePath}/paragraphs" \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
