About

The CSV to Excel API allows easy conversion of CSV files to Excel (XLS/XLSX) spreadsheets.
With this API, you can effortlessly transform any CSV file into a formatted Excel spreadsheet with minimal data loss. It's particularly useful when back-end services produce CSV files but end users need them in a more accessible Excel format. Producing CSV files from the backend services is common, but viewing these files in Excel is often more user-friendly for end users. Instead of constructing Excel files within your applications, use the CSV to Excel API to generate Excel files on demand.
Try out the CSV to Excel Converter API in the API playground for free, improve your workflow, and reduce Excel conversion errors with a simple API call.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
