CSV to JSON

CSV to JSON is an API that converts a CSV into an array of JSON objects, using the first row as field names. It genuinely understands quoting: a field like "Smith, Anna" won't split into two columns.

How it works

You send the CSV (raw or inside a JSON body) and get the array back. With header:false, each row comes out as an array of values instead of a named object.

All you need

Your API key. Create it in your dashboard with "+ Create key".
In your automation platform, an "HTTP Request" step (n8n, Make, Zapier, Pipedream…).

How to use it in n8n

Method: POST · URL: https://api.cofferdock.com/csv-to-json

Example

curl -X POST "https://api.cofferdock.com/csv-to-json" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"csv":"name,age\nAna,30\nLuis,25"}'

Response

    "meta": { "rows": 2, "used": 12, "remaining": 488 } }

What you get back

data, the resulting array (every value comes back as text: converting numbers/dates is on you). With output=raw, the array directly as the response body, no wrapper.
