Aspose.Cells Cloud SDK for Java is a powerful tool for working with Excel files in the cloud, offering a wide range of features for data processing and conversion. One of the key benefits of using Aspose.Cells Cloud is the ability to convert Excel files to Word documents with ease. By following simple steps, streamline your workflow and automate your Excel to Word conversion process.

To get started, we need to create a maven build type project and add the following details in pom.xml file.

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>AsposeJavaAPI</id>
        <name>Aspose Java API</name>
        <url>https://repository.aspose.cloud/repo/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
        <artifactId>aspose-cells-cloud</artifactId>
        <version>22.8</version>

Export Excel to Word using cURL Commands

Now, if you’re looking for a simple and efficient way to convert Excel files to Word documents, cURL commands can be a powerful tool in your arsenal. With cURL, you can easily send HTTP requests to a server and receive a response, making it ideal for automating a wide range of tasks, including Excel to Word conversion. So as a prerequisite, we need to generate a JWT access token based on client credentials:

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=bb959721-5780-4be6-be35-ff5c3a6aa4a2&client_secret=4d84d5f6584160cbd91dba1fe145db14" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"

Once the JWT token has been generated, we need to execute the following command, which loads the input Excel from Cloud storage and export the output to Word format. After the conversion, the resultant DOCX is also store in Cloud storage.

curl -v -X GET "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/myDocument.xlsx?format=DOCX&isAutoFit=true&onlySaveTable=true&outPath=Resultant.docx&checkExcelRestriction=true" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>"
