Confluence Python API & confluence.get_page_as_word

[Gunther Lukat]

Hi,

I just started with using the python confluence api. However i am stuck exporting to wordfile.

wordFile = confluence.get_page_as_word(page_id)

f2 = open("file.docx", "wb")

f2.write(wordFile)

f2.close()

A file is written but it seems like the format is wrong. I can not open it in word or user further processing on it such as using python-docx.

To me it seems like the result is not really a zip file or docx in this case.

How do i save the result from confluence.get_page_as_word as a proper docx?

Hi Gunther (and other people who might have this issue):

It seems that `get_page_as_word` exports in the form of `doc` not `docx`.

You should be able to have a work around by changing your write line to:

f2 = open("file.doc", "wb")
