Convert and Parse Raw CSV API

What it does

CSV Parser converts CSV text into structured data and builds CSV from structured data. Send a body object with an operation of parse, toJson or stringify.

  • parse returns an object with headers and rows.
  • toJson returns an array of objects keyed by the header names.
  • stringify returns CSV text built from headers and rows.

Use it when you need to accept spreadsheet data from users, normalize it before storing it, or generate CSV for export without writing your own parser. Quoted cells, escaped quotes and line breaks inside quotes are handled, and you can set a single-character delimiter such as ; or a tab. Every value is returned as a string, with no number or date detection.

CSV Parser fits import flows, admin panels, data migration jobs and simple ETL steps where you need to move between human-edited CSV and machine-friendly JSON.

About this endpoint

What it does

Converts data between CSV and structured formats, chosen with operation:

  • parse turns CSV text into an object with headers and rows.
  • toJson turns CSV text, or headers and rows, into a list of objects keyed by the header names.
  • stringify turns headers and rows into CSV text.

Quoted fields (values containing the delimiter, quotes or line breaks) are handled, and you can set a custom single-character delimiter such as ;. All values stay strings. There is no number or date detection.
