Autofit Rows on an Excel Workbook – Aspose.Cells Cloud API

Prerequisites
Before calling the API, obtain a valid Bearer JWT token from the Aspose authentication service and ensure the target workbook is stored in a supported storage location (default storage or a custom one you have configured).

This REST API enables you to autofit rows in an Excel workbook, automatically adjusting row height after data is inserted or modified.

REST API

POST https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/{name}/autofitrows

The request parameters include:

Parameter Name	Type	Location	Description
name	string	path	Name of the workbook file.
autoFitterOptions	AutoFitterOptions	body	Options that control the autofit behavior.
startRow	integer	query	Index of the first row to autofit.
endRow	integer	query	Index of the last row to autofit.
firstColumn	integer	query	Index of the first column considered for autofit.
lastColumn	integer	query	Index of the last column considered for autofit.
onlyAuto	boolean	query	If true, only rows with the AutoFit flag are processed (default false).
folder	string	query	Folder path where the workbook is stored.
storageName	string	query	Name of the storage service.

AutoFitterOptions is an object that specifies how the autofit operation behaves (e.g., AutoFitMergedCells, IgnoreHidden).

Status Codes

Code	Description
200	OK – Rows were successfully autofitted.
400	Bad Request – Invalid parameters or payload.
401	Unauthorized – Missing or invalid JWT token.
404	Not Found – Specified workbook or resource not found.
500	Internal Server Error – Unexpected server condition.

The OpenAPI Specification defines a publicly accessible programming interface and lets you carry out REST interactions directly from a web browser.

You can use the cURL command‑line tool to call Aspose.Cells web services. Replace <jwt token> with a valid Bearer JWT token obtained from the Aspose authentication service.

Request

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/myWorkbook.xlsx/autofitrows" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <jwt token>" \
  -d '{"AutoFitMergedCells":true, "IgnoreHidden":true}'

Response

{
  "Code": 200,
  "Status": "OK"
}

Example error response (e.g., missing workbook):

{
  "Code": 404,
  "Status": "Not Found",
  "Message": "The specified workbook 'myWorkbook.xlsx' does not exist."
}

Notes

When AutoFitMergedCells is set to true, merged cells are considered as a single entity during the autofit operation.
Setting IgnoreHidden to true skips hidden rows and columns, preserving their current dimensions.

Cloud SDK Family

Using an SDK is the fastest way to develop. An SDK abstracts low‑level details so you can focus on your project. See the GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.Cells Cloud SDKs.

The following code examples demonstrate how to call Aspose.Cells web services using various SDKs:
