How to Use the PostExport API with SDKs

PostExport API Specification

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 access Aspose.Cells web services easily. The following example shows how to make a call to the Cloud API with cURL.

curl -X POST "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/export?objectType=oleobject&format=pdf" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -F "file=@MyWorkbook.xlsx" \
  -F "outputFormat=pdf"

What is an OLE object?

An OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) object embeds external content—such as Word documents, PowerPoint slides, images, or other files—inside an Excel workbook. When exported, the embedded content is extracted and saved in the requested output format.
