How do I convert Markdown to Word with styles via API?

​

Steps

1. Create an API key in the dashboard, under API keys, and store it in DOCONDA_API_KEY.
2. Install the SDK: pip install doconda or npm install @doconda/sdk.
3. Call documents.create with your Markdown and the style, and download the Word file.

from pathlib import Path
from doconda import Doconda

doconda = Doconda()  # reads the key from DOCONDA_API_KEY
doc = doconda.documents.create(
    format="docx",
    content={"markdown": "# Internal note\n\nMonday's meeting moves to 10:00."},
    style="Lora font, blue headings, with page numbers",
)
Path("note.docx").write_bytes(doconda.documents.download(doc["id"], "docx"))

import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises"
import { Doconda } from "@doconda/sdk"

const doconda = new Doconda()
const doc = await doconda.documents.create({
  format: "docx",
  content: { markdown: "# Internal note\n\nMonday's meeting moves to 10:00." },
  style: "Lora font, blue headings, with page numbers",
})
await writeFile("note.docx", await doconda.documents.download(doc.id, "docx"))

What you get back

• An editable .docx: the look lives in the document’s styles, so whatever you add later follows the same design.
• Its PDF, with the font embedded (download(id, "pdf")).
• style_applied: how the style was understood (font, colors, alignment…), so you can check it.
• style_unsupported: whatever you asked for that couldn’t be applied. It is never silently ignored.
• status: ready, ready_with_warnings, needs_review or failed (not charged).

​

Limits

• The text is used as is: Doconda doesn’t rewrite it. If you want it written for you, use prompt instead of content.
• With quality: "fast" you get the basic style: font, size, colors, alignment, margins, cover page, table of contents, header and footer. Anything else comes back in style_unsupported.
• Copying the design of one of your files needs standard or best.
