You can combine Multiple Word Documents programmatically on the cloud. In this article, we will learn how to combine and merge multiple docx files in Python using REST API.

The following topics are covered in this article:

1. Word Documents Merger REST API – Python SDK
2. How to Combine Word Files in Python using REST API
3. Merge Specific Pages of Multiple Word Files in Python

Merge_Word_Docx_Files_in_Python_Upload.py

# Upload Word document to cloud storage
# Create instance of the API
file_api = groupdocs_merger_cloud.FileApi.from_config(configuration)
storage_api = groupdocs_merger_cloud.StorageApi.from_config(configuration)

# upload sample files
for filename in glob.iglob("H:\\groupdocs-cloud-data\\upload\\*.docx", recursive=True):
    destFile = filename.replace("H:\\groupdocs-cloud-data\\upload", "", 1)           
    # check if file already exist
    fileExistsResponse = storage_api.object_exists(groupdocs_merger_cloud.ObjectExistsRequest(destFile))
    if not fileExistsResponse.exists:
        # create upload file request
        request = groupdocs_merger_cloud.UploadFileRequest(destFile, filename)
        # upload file to the cloud
        response = file_api.upload_file(request)
        print(response.uploaded)

Merge_Word_Files_in_Python_Download.py

# API initialization to download converted file
import shutil
file_api = groupdocs_merger_cloud.FileApi.from_config(configuration)

# Create download file request
request = groupdocs_merger_cloud.DownloadFileRequest("python-testing\\joined-files.docx", storage_name)

# Download converted file
response = file_api.download_file(request)

# Move the downloaded file to your directory
shutil.move(response, "H:\\groupdocs-cloud-data\\")

Utils_to_Merge_Word_Files_in_Python.rb

# Import Python SDK in your python application from http://api.groupdocs.cloud
import groupdocs_merger_cloud

# Get client_id and client_secret from https://dashboard.groupdocs.cloud after free registration.
client_id = "xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
client_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Get File API configurations 
configuration = groupdocs_merger_cloud.Configuration(client_id, client_secret)
