Tornado Get Template Structure using Python

This example shows how to get the structure of a template in JSON format using Python.  It calls the Docmosis REST API to return a response describing the fields, images and sections of the template.

The sample code includes the instructions to get started. You will need a Free Trial to install and run Tornado.

# This sample code shows how to get the structure of the "WelcomeTemplate.doc" template in JSON format
# via the local Tornado server (localhost:8080).

# If you wish to test via a web proxy server, set useProxy to True and see the proxies settings below to enable it.

import requests
import json
import datetime

accessKey=''
templateName='WelcomeTemplate.doc'

useProxy = False
proxies = {'http': 'http://username:password@ip:port',
           'https': 'http://username:password@ip:port'}

# Create request
payload = 'accessKey=' + accessKey + '&templateName=' + templateName
headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

# Make request
if useProxy:
  r = requests.post("http://localhost:8080/api/getTemplateStructure", data=payload, headers=headers, proxies=proxies)
else:
  r = requests.post("http://localhost:8080/api/getTemplateStructure", data=payload, headers=headers)

# Process response
if r.status_code == 200:
  jsonResponse = r.json()
  if 'templateStructure' in jsonResponse:
    print(json.dumps(jsonResponse['templateStructure'], indent=4, sort_keys=True))
else:
  print("Failed")
  print(r.text)
