Authentication

All API requests require authentication. GroupDocs.Merger Cloud uses OAuth 2.0 for secure API access.

// Example authentication code
string clientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID";
string clientSecret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET";
string token = GetAuthToken(clientId, clientSecret);

API Reference

This guide provides detailed examples for each API endpoint. Each section includes:

  • Endpoint description
  • Request parameters
  • Response format
  • Code samples in multiple languages (C#, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js)
  • Error handling

Error Handling

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:

  • 200 - Success
  • 400 - Bad request
  • 401 - Authentication failure
  • 404 - Resource not found
  • 500 - Server error

SDK Usage Examples

Merge Documents Example

// Example code for merging PDF files
var mergeOptions = new MergeOptions
{
    JoinItems = new List<JoinItem>
    {
        new JoinItem { FilePath = "document1.pdf" },
        new JoinItem { FilePath = "document2.pdf" }
    },
    OutputPath = "merged-output.pdf"
};

var response = api.Merge(new MergeRequest(mergeOptions));

Split Document Example

// Example code for splitting a document
var splitOptions = new SplitOptions
{
    FilePath = "document.pdf",
    Mode = SplitMode.Pages,
    Pages = new List<int> { 2, 4, 6 },
    OutputPath = "split-output"
};

var response = api.Split(new SplitRequest(splitOptions));

Best Practices

  • Cache authentication tokens to avoid repeated authentication requests
  • Use appropriate file formats for your specific use case
  • Implement error handling to manage API exceptions
  • Optimize document size before uploading for better performance
