Integrate a Python REST API to transform TXT into CSV

When a data pipeline receives raw logs in plain‑text format, the next step often requires a structured CSV for analytics or import into a database. Manually parsing line breaks, delimiters, and encoding quirks quickly becomes a maintenance nightmare, especially when the source files grow beyond a few megabytes.

GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for Python eliminates that friction by exposing a clean Python REST API that accepts a TXT file and returns a ready‑to‑load CSV. A single request handles character‑set detection, column inference, and streaming the result back without writing intermediate files to disk. The SDK also provides detailed status codes so you can programmatically retry or log conversion failures.

Integrate the call into your existing ETL codebase with just a few lines, and let the cloud service scale the heavy lifting. No native dependencies, no OS‑specific binaries—just pure HTTP calls wrapped in idiomatic Python objects.
