Import Data without Using Storage – Aspose.Cells Cloud API
Excel data import can be complex because many factors influence the outcome. All of these factors should be considered during the import process. Aspose.Cells Cloud makes it easy to import a variety of formats and data types into an Excel file with professional‑grade quality.
This REST API imports data into an Excel file.
PostImportData API
POST https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/import
Security and Authentication
The Aspose.Cells Cloud APIs are secure and require JWT token-based authentication.
Request Parameters:
| Parameter Name | Type | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| file | file | formData | The Excel file to upload. |
| ImportOption | ImportOption | JSON body | JSON object that defines the data to import, its type (e.g., IntArray, DoubleArray, StringArray), and the placement within the worksheet. |
The ImportOption parameters are described in the ImportData option reference /cells/import/#import-data-option-parameter.
Prerequisites:
A valid JWT token must be generated beforehand, and the file size must not exceed the service limit (typically 100 MB). Supported file formats include XLS, XLSX, CSV, and ODS. Ensure the appropriate SDK is installed if you prefer programmatic access.
Response

HTTP Status Codes
| Code | Meaning | Description |

When sending the request, the Content-Type: multipart/form-data header is automatically set by the -F flag. For large payloads, consider compressing the data before import and implement retry logic for transient errors.
How to Use the PostImportData API with SDKs
PostImportData 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 calls to the Cloud API with cURL.
Use Aspose.Cells Cloud SDKs
Using an SDK is the best way to speed up development. An SDK handles low‑level details and lets you focus on your project tasks. Please check out 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:
