Line number 554 in tika .py

Answer 1

First, you can use the docker image to have tika-server up and running:

docker run -d -p 9998:9998 apache/tika:1.28.2-full 

Once you got the image running could you try to open the file like this?

from tika import parser

os.environ['TIKA_SERVER_ENDPOINT'] = 'http://0.0.0.0:9998/'

with open('path/to/file', 'rb') as file:
    data = parser.from_file(file)
