Hi, testing out this API for generating docx files but I am encountering the following error when attempting to open the generated files:

When I click yes and recover the contents, the document seems to be generated correctly.

Any advice on how to resolve this error message?

    If you are using the REST API, remember that the result is a multipart form response you need to parse to get the binary data of your file.

    Hi Raymond - I've been parsing that to get what I believe is the raw file data:

    I interpret the raw file data as starting after the 'name="multipartLabel" ' string of text, and ending at the next boundary identifier:

     

    Is there any best practice or code examples for converting the raw string into a docx file?

    Well, it (Multpart Form Response) is a spec you can read to get the _exact_ rules on parsing. I'd say Google for that and the platform of your choice. So for example, if you are on PHP, google for "php multipart form response".
