GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud provides an ability to apply or discard specific changes between source and target files and save result with (or without) selected changes.
- Changes - List of changes that must be applied (or not) to the resulting document;
The following code sample shows how to accept/reject changes.
There are steps that usage of GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud consists of:
- Upload input documents into cloud storage
- Compare documents or get document info
- Download comparison result document from storage
Steps 1 and 3 are storage operations, please refer to this File API documentation for usage details.
Swagger UI lets you call this REST API directly from the browser.
Curl example contains only ‘updates’ method call. For ‘changes’ method, see other examples
* First get JSON Web Token
* Please get your Client Id and Client Secret from https://dashboard.groupdocs.cloud/applications. Kindly place Client Id in "client_id" and Client Secret in "client_secret" argument.
curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=xxxx&client_secret=xxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
* cURL example to get document information
curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/comparison/updates" \
-X PUT \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \

Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up the development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of GroupDocs.Comparison Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check Available SDKs article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
