How to use Microsoft office view with web/rest api url

Question

Hi All,

As we know MS office online viewer is used to show office document in browser, we need to append client public document url into the src parameter of viewer url, may i use Web/Rest api in src parameter to show our file into browser?

As we don't want our filepath to expose to the outside of world, we want to make it secure, so is there any way to use web/rest api to show document in browser?

**Note: **we will expose API publicly.

MS office online viewer URL below:

Hi Amit,

Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.

This forum is for developers discussing developing issue about Office automation and add-in.

AFAIK, we can use the Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) protocol to integrate Office Online with your application. And this protocol using the REST API instead of URL parameters to interact with Office Online.

And if you have any problem developing with WOPI, you can post it in Office Protocols forum.

Hope it is helpful.

Regards & Fei
