What it does

Also called: reshape a csv file · filter and reorder csv columns · rename the headers in a csv.

Use it from your own code

The same endpoint this page calls — no daily cap, 1 credit a call either way.

POST /v1/core/csv-tools

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/core/csv-tools" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "a,b,c\n1,2,3", "options": {"columns": ["c", "a"]}}'

Pick the columns you want, reorder them, drop the rest, and change the delimiter on the way out.

Select, reorder, rename or drop CSV columns and convert between delimiters.

Input

Send either a text string or a file object. A file is decoded as UTF-8 and must be one of text/csv, text/plain.

Response

The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

{
  "text": "c,a\n3,1",
  "rows": 1,
  "columns": [
    "c",
    "a"
  ],
  "request_id": "37f01edb-0163-42a1-ac51-0acaef979800",
  "credits_remaining": 96
}

Cost

1 credit per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.

A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.

Parameters

Generated from the endpoint’s own validation, so this is exactly what it accepts. A body field goes at the top level; an option goes inside options.
