CSV to JSON Converter API

About the CSV to JSON Converter API

CSV to JSON Converter works by parsing CSV data and converting it into JSON objects. It automatically detects columns, handles quoted values, and supports custom delimiters. Maximum file size is 500KB.

What people use it for

Data Migration

Convert CSV exports from legacy systems to JSON format for modern API integration and database imports

API Integration

Transform CSV data into JSON format for RESTful API consumption and web application processing

Data Analysis

Convert CSV datasets to JSON for easier manipulation in JavaScript, Python, or data analysis tools

File Processing

Automate batch conversion of CSV files to JSON for data pipelines and ETL workflows

Request parameters — POST /v1/csvtojson

Sent as JSON in the request body. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/csvtojson" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"csv":"name,age,city\nJohn Doe,30,New York\nJane Smith,25,Los Angeles","delimiter":",","has_header":true}'

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Response — POST /v1/csvtojson

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.

Zero-code embed — one snippet, no backend

Drop an interactive CSV to JSON Converter form onto any page. The widget calls the API for you, so no key ever appears in your markup and there is nothing to deploy.

Changelog — CSV to JSON Converter API

Every change to this endpoint, newest first. Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps serving — response fields are added, never removed or retyped in place, so an integration written against v1 keeps working.
