Quickstart

Create an account

Creating an account is very simple. Go to Dashboard to create a free account.
We’re using Single Sign On across our websites, therefore, if you already have an account with our services, you can use it to also acccess the Dashboard.

Create an API client app

Before you can make any requests to GroupDocs Cloud API you need to get a Client Id and a Client Secret. This will will be used to invoke GroupDocs Cloud API.

You can get it by creating a new Application.

Install the SDK of your choice

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.

Please check Available SDKs article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.

Make an API request from the SDK of your choice

UUse the Client Id and the Client Secret from the API app client you created in step one and replace it in the corresponding code. Below is an example demonstrating how to get a list of all supported file formats in GroupDocs.Parser Cloud.

Note
The GitHub repository for GroupDocs.Parser Cloud has a complete set of examples, demonstrating our API capabilities.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/groupdocs-metadata-cloud/groupdocs-metadata-cloud-dotnet-samples
string ClientId = ""; // Get ClientId and ClientSecret from https://dashboard.groupdocs.cloud
string ClientSecret = ""; // Get ClientId and ClientSecret from https://dashboard.groupdocs.cloud

var configuration = new Configuration(ClientId, ClientSecret);

var apiInstance = new InfoApi(configuration);
var response = apiInstance.GetSupportedFileFormats();
