It seems that you are encountering an issue with the conversion of Word documents to HTML using the Aspose Words API in Python. The error message you are receiving, specifically 'RequestId', indicates that there might be a problem with the request being sent to the Aspose Cloud service.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Check API Credentials: Ensure that your client_id and client_secret are correct and have the necessary permissions to perform document conversions.

  2. File Format Compatibility: Verify that the documents you are trying to convert are indeed in a supported format (.doc or .docx). Sometimes, files may have extensions that do not match their actual format.

  3. Document Size and Complexity: If the documents are particularly large or complex, they may exceed the limits set by the Aspose API. Try converting a simpler document to see if the issue persists.

  4. Error Handling: Enhance your error handling to capture more details about the exception. You can print the full error message or log it to understand what might be going wrong.

  5. Use Online Conversion: If the issue continues, consider using the online conversion method provided by the API. This method allows you to send the document directly as a byte stream, which can sometimes bypass issues related to file handling.

Here’s an example of how to convert a document online:

with open(doc_path, "rb") as f:
    req = ConvertDocumentRequest(document=f, format="html")
    html_bytes = words_api.convert_document(req)

Make sure to replace doc_path with the path to your document. This method directly streams the document to the API, which may help avoid issues related to file handling.

If you continue to experience issues, I recommend checking the Aspose documentation or reaching out to their support for more specific guidance related to your account and usage.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or need additional assistance!

what libraries to import to run the code given by you .

with open(doc_path, “rb”) as f:
req = ConvertDocumentRequest(document=f, format=“html”)
html_bytes = words_api.convert_document(req)

You definitely have an issue with file paths to documents, as your exception handling falls into that section

Here is an example of the method you need, and also, you can find how to set up a file path correctly
