How to Turn Your Excel Model Into a Web API Using SpreadsheetWeb

If your business runs on Excel and you need to integrate that calculation logic into a website, mobile app, or any external system, this tutorial shows you exactly how to do it using SpreadsheetWeb, without rebuilding your formulas in code.

SpreadsheetWeb lets you upload an Excel file and expose it as a web API instantly. Any application sends input values, SpreadsheetWeb runs the calculations server-side using your actual Excel model, and returns the results as a structured JSON response. Your formulas stay intact. Your logic stays protected.

What we cover in this video:

The Excel model: Walkthrough of the input cells, output cell, and named ranges that make API requests clean and readable.

Publishing the API: Uploading to SpreadsheetWeb Hub, selecting API as the application type, and making the model available as a live web service.

The API Toolkit: SpreadsheetWeb's built-in testing environment. Adding inputs and outputs, firing requests, reading responses, and verifying results against the original Excel file.

Exporting to Postman: Exporting the API request as a Postman collection, importing it, and running live requests verified side by side with Excel.

Capturing data to a database: Automatically storing every API request and its results in a central database table. Essential for any application that needs a history of calculations or user submissions.

Viewing saved records: Browsing stored calculation data in the Hub and confirming inputs and outputs are being captured correctly.

API auditing with Excel export: Generating a downloadable copy of the Excel file populated with the exact inputs and outputs from each API call, accessible from both the API response and the Hub data interface.

By the end of this tutorial you will know how to publish any Excel model as a web API, with built-in testing, Postman compatibility, automatic data capture, and a full audit trail.
