Query ParametersExpand Collapse
organization_id: optional string
project_id: optional string
Cookie ParametersExpand Collapse
session: optional string
Body ParametersExpand Collapse
file_id: string

The ID of the file to parse

formatuuid
config: optional SheetsParsingConfig { extraction_range, flatten_hierarchical_tables, generate_additional_metadata, 4 more }

Configuration for the parsing job

extraction_range: optional string

A1 notation of the range to extract a single region from. If None, the entire sheet is used.

flatten_hierarchical_tables: optional boolean

Return a flattened dataframe when a detected table is recognized as hierarchical.

generate_additional_metadata: optional boolean

Whether to generate additional metadata (title, description) for each extracted region.

include_hidden_cells: optional boolean

Whether to include hidden cells when extracting regions from the spreadsheet.

sheet_names: optional array of string

The names of the sheets to extract regions from. If empty, all sheets will be processed.

table_merge_sensitivity: optional "strong" or "weak"

Influences how likely similar-looking regions are merged into a single table. Useful for spreadsheets that either have sparse tables (strong merging) or many distinct tables close together (weak merging).

Accepts one of the following:
"strong"
"weak"
use_experimental_processing: optional boolean

Enables experimental processing. Accuracy may be impacted.
