Format Conversion Examples

Our example scripts include specialized tools for converting between file formats. These tools demonstrate the format conversion capabilities of the Datneat API.

Python Format Converter

The format_converter.py script provides a specialized tool for format conversion:

# Basic usage - convert CSV to JSON
python format_converter.py --api-url https://api.datneat.com/api \
  --api-key YOUR_API_KEY \
  --input sample_data.csv \
  --format json

# Convert with data cleaning
python format_converter.py --api-url https://api.datneat.com/api \
  --api-key YOUR_API_KEY \
  --channel-id YOUR_CHANNEL_ID \
  --input sample_data.csv \
  --format xml \
  --clean \
  --instructions "Standardize country names and fix dates"

# Batch process multiple files
python format_converter.py --api-url https://api.datneat.com/api \
  --api-key YOUR_API_KEY \
  --input ./data_directory \
  --format xlsx \
  --batch \
  --pattern "*.csv"

Bash Script (cURL)

The convert.sh script demonstrates format conversion using cURL:

# Make the script executable
chmod +x convert.sh

# Basic usage
./convert.sh -i sample_data.csv -f json -k YOUR_API_KEY

# With cleaning instructions
./convert.sh -i sample_data.csv -f xml -k YOUR_API_KEY -c YOUR_CHANNEL_ID \
  -x "Fix dates and standardize country names"

Complete Workflow Example

The complete_workflow.py script demonstrates the complete API workflow, including downloading in multiple formats:

# Update API_KEY and CHANNEL_ID in the script first
python complete_workflow.py sample_data.csv

Supported Formats

The Datneat API supports the following formats for conversion:

Format	URL Parameter	Description
CSV	`?format=csv`	Comma-separated values, ideal for spreadsheets and data analysis tools
Excel	`?format=xlsx`	Microsoft Excel format, opens directly in Excel
JSON	`?format=json`	JavaScript Object Notation, ideal for web applications and API integrations
XML	`?format=xml`	Extensible Markup Language, structured format widely used in enterprise systems

Getting Started

To use these examples, you'll need:

A Datneat account with an API key
An API channel ID (created in the Datneat dashboard or via API)
Required dependencies:
- Python 3.6+ and the requests library for Python examples
- Bash with cURL for shell script examples

Tip: You can find your API key and channel ID in the dashboard.
