How do I create a new document in Zoho Writer? Any sample codes?

To create a new document from scratch, you need to make use of Zoho Writer's Create Document API.

HTML Sample Code:

<form method="POST" action="https://writer.zoho.com/writer/officeapi/v1/document" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_self" 

accept-charset="UTF-8">

<input type="hidden" name="apikey" value="423s*****">

<input type="hidden" name="permissions" value='{"document.export":true,"document.print":true,"document.edit":true,"review.comment":true,"collab.chat":true}'>

<input type="hidden" name="document_defaults" value='{"orientation":"portrait","paper_size":"Letter","font_name":"Lato","font_size":12,"track_changes":"disabled","margin": {"left":"1.5in","right":"1.5in","top":"0.25in","bottom":"0.25in"}}'>

<input type="hidden" name="editor_settings" value='{"unit":"in", "language":"en","view":"pageview"}'>

<input type="hidden" name="callback_settings" value='{"save_format":"docx","save_url":"https://zylker.com/save.php","context_info":"Doc Info"}'>

<input type="hidden" name="document_info" value='{"document_name":"New Document", "document_id":"130003"}'>

<input type="hidden" name="user_info" value='{"user_id":"1000", "display_name":"Jack"}'>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create New Document">

</form>
