Turn Your CSV Files Into a REST API in 2 Minutes

#javascript #node #csv #api

CSV as a Service

Sometimes you don't want a CLI. You want an API. You want to upload a CSV, do something to it, and get the result back programmatically.

csv-processing-api-server gives you exactly that:

npx csv-processing-api-server
# Server running on http://localhost:3030

Then make API calls:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3030/api/clean \
  -F "file=@messy.csv" \
  -F "options={\"dedup\": true}"

Endpoint	What It Does
`POST /api/clean`	Upload + clean (dedup, strip whitespace, fill nulls)
`POST /api/convert`	CSV → JSON, CSV → Excel
`POST /api/analyze`	Column stats, distribution, summaries
`GET /api/health`	Server status

npm install -g csv-processing-api-server
