Python Integration

Integrating the GoodGrids API with a python application is simple. You can create an Excel file from a CSV file with this simple snippet of code:

import requests
from six import BytesIO


def create_excel_file(csv_content):
    """
    Creates an Excel file from CSV text content

    :param csv_content: a string containing the contents of a CSV file
    :return: Binary contents of an Excel file, as bytes
    """
    goodgrids_api_url = 'https://api.goodgrids.com/api/convert/v1/csv-to-excel/3a6c0d9ac7c74d'
    response = requests.post(
        url=goodgrids_api_url,
        files={
            'file': BytesIO(csv_content),
        }
    )

    return response.content

Make sure to set goodgrids_api_url to your actual API URL.

This code is compatible with both python 2 and python 3.
