Service / platform to work with MS Word api - api

I want' to organize generation reports in *.docx format using MS Word api. But I can't find any service which allow work with that api ( First I hope find it in office365 but I didn't ).
There are list of api's for js/python etc.

Or possible you can share experience how to organize such tasks.
In general we use *nix stack, so cloud solution is the best variant.

At the moment, only Excel provides such an API (currently in beta).
You could generate a .docx directly but it fair warning, this can be non-trivial to get set up. Technically a .docx uses OOXML which is just a zipped collection of xml files.

How would I run a replit from Microsoft Power Automate?

I am relatively new to Microsoft Power Automate, so I'm not sure how to use all of the features. Detailed explanations would be much appreciated :)
So I'm basically creating a Microsoft Power Automate flow to sense a new file creation in OneDrive, grab the text in that file, input it to a replit, then grab the binary file output from that replit and upload that to the same OneDrive folder. I have gotten to the point where I have the content of the file, but I can't find a way to actually access a replit and even run it or get any files back from it.
This is what my flow looks like so far:
And I already have the replit set up to process the input, but the output is a binary file in the replit's filesystem.
I don't have any premium subscription besides Microsoft 365 family for my personal account, and I am not willing to pay anything more or use my work email.
Thanks in advance!

Is there anyway to get the feature data of .sldprt file without opening it in solidworks?

I need to get the features of each .sldprt file as the data of other project. But the truth is I have over 50000 .sldprt files, which takes lots of time to open each in solidworks and traverse its features and close it automatically. And I didn't find any solution in api documentation of solidworks in SOLIDWORKS Document Manager api Help. So is there anyway to get the features and sketches directly without opening the file in solidworks? Such as using the solidworks Document Manager api?
Unfortunately, no. SolidWorks Document manager can not access any feature or sketch information.
There is no way to go around opening each files in SolidWorks.
But there are some options that could speed up the process. See:

Visio Hyperlinks query

The users have documents in Sharepoint document library. I need to be able to get the urls of these documents easy within Visio. Would I need to write something in VBA which gets the urls of these documents from Sharepoint, or is there an easier option ?
I have looked at the net use command so they can map a drive but that does not give the url.
anyone done anything like this before ?
SharePoint exposes XML interfaces that you can use to determine elements in a table or items in a library (which is a known and static location in SharePoint).
What you can use and how you access it will depend on your version of SharePoint and how it is configured on your network. However, there are plenty of examples on the internet that you can search in your favourite search engine (Alta Vista anyone?) which will get you started with some code. I expect you will have some specific questions once you start coding.
It has been a while since I did this.

MS Outlook attatchment sync with Sharepoint database

Okay this might be a interesting question but if there is a custom form people use on Outlook to submit files to be posted online, is there anyway (when the send button is pressed) to sync that file to a Sharepoint database (archive) of these file types?
These files are generally reports and we are trying to keep an archive of them without making it a two step process - 1. submit web request 2. then upload to archive.
The short but unhelfpful answer is - yes, you can do that. There are several APIs available for integrating with SharePoint that provide the ability to upload files. You can build this functionality in an Outlook COM Add-in. However, a lot more specifics are required for a more detailed answer.

SharePoint as an alternative to large volumes of file shares? Dreaming?

We've been on SharePoint 2007 for close to 2 years now. We find it's a great CMS that helps us centralize project documents and colaborate with less duplication and confusion. The custom list feature offers a quick and dirty alternative to custom form and developed sql solutions sometimes.
That said, we still have over 100 Terrabytes of files shares with documents dating far back to the beginning of time outside of SharePoint.
As we look forward to smarter, faster and bigger Network FileSystems...
(1)What realistic role should SharePoint play?
(2) How reliable can SharePoint be as a seemless place to store documents? I mean, will we be able to save/retrieve documents to sharepoint from all popular clients without having to open sharepoint?
Part of why I ask ... A few months ago as part of another project, we attempted to use SharePoint 2007 like a file share.. attempting to set up a Windows drive map and UNC path and/or WebDAV. Our findings were that not every client (XP, Vista, 7, Mac. IX, etc) plays nice with UNC, WEBDAV and drive mappings. Not surprised. Does this change significantly looking ahead to future sharepoint releases?
(3) Are there documents that have no business in SharePoint? Databases? Executables? propietary logs? What about documents where we expect lots for row level IO from potentially multiple users?
(4) How many customers would you say are seriously looking at SharePoint as a significant alternative to file shares? I understand SharePoint DBs should not exceed 100g - so we have a DB for every site collection. But we have over 100T of potential content. If there are customers seriously looking to go this way - what might there archetecture look like? Blob storage outside of SQL? EBS vs RBS? Who are the major players that offer this and will SharePoint ever offer this natively? EMC? StoragePoint? who else? EBS vs RBS?
(5) What about performance and content indexing concerns?
Thanks in Advance.
If you're seriously consider BLOB storage and SharePoint, then your should look into Remote Blob Storage. See Overview of Remote BLOB Storage. Besides the free FILESTRAM based provider, there are 3rd party providers of RBS that can place the BLOB on SANs like the EMC one.
Metalogix's StoragePoint has an offering called FileShare Librarian that may be the answer you are looking for, it will quickly create the file structure and permissions in SharePoint, while leaving the BLOB's externalized. There is all FileShare Migration Manager for a full fidelity migration, you can still externalize the blobs to EMC with StoragePoint.
