Use the following link to download the sample Excel worksheet (myDocument.xlsx) used in the above example.

Let’s understand the above code snippet:

CellsApi instance = new CellsApi(clientID, clientSecret);

Create an object of CellsApi where we pass the client credentials as arguments.

var file = System.IO.File.OpenRead(name)

Read the input Excel worksheet using OpenRead(…) method of the System.IO.File class.

instance.CellsWorkbookPutConvertWorkbook(file, format: format, outPath: resultantFile);

Excel to HTML conversion can be achieved using cURL commands, which allow you to interact with Aspose.Cells Cloud API and perform various operations, including Excel to HTML conversion. Here’s a simple example of how to convert an Excel spreadsheet to HTML using cURL commands:

  1. Upload your Excel spreadsheet to a cloud storage platform, such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
  2. Obtain an API key from Aspose.Cells Cloud, which will be used to authenticate your API requests.
  3. Generate JWT access token based on client credentials using the following command.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=bb959721-5780-4be6-be35-ff5c3a6aa4a2&client_secret=4d84d5f6584160cbd91dba1fe145db14" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
  1. Now use the following cURL command to convert your Excel spreadsheet to HTML:
curl -v -X GET "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/myDocument(1).xlsx?format=HTML&isAutoFit=true&onlySaveTable=false&outPath=resultant.html&checkExcelRestriction=true" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>"

  1. Once the cURL command is executed, the resultant HTML is saved to cloud storage.

  2. Now, instead of cloud storage, if we need to save the HTML to local drive, please try using the following cURL command:

curl -v -X GET "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/myDocument(1).xlsx?format=HTML&isAutoFit=true&onlySaveTable=false&checkExcelRestriction=false" \
