VisualizaçõesA GET API (google sheets API) returns an excel sheet in windows 1252 encoding format. How can I download the sheet as excel using nodeJS?
This is the response API gives
This is the code snippet.
axios.get(api , { headers: {"Authorization" : `Bearer ${token}` , "Content-Type":"application/json" , "Accept" : "*/*", "Accept-Encoding" : "gzip, deflate, br"} })
.then(res => {
try {
let fileString = iconv.decode(res.data, 'win1252');
fs.writeFile('NodeReport.xlsx' , fileString , (error) => {
console.log(error);
});
}
catch (err){
console.log(err);
}
}
);
So if I hit the API in browser it downloads the excel file , and If I save response from Postman as file it also downloads excel file . But I want to hit the API from my nodeJS code and then save the file as Excel file . I have tried to use fs.writeFile but it doesn't open the saved file , it says the format is wrong or content is corrupted. Can anyone tell how can I save this file from API response ?

In your script, as a modification, how about the following modification?
Modified script:
axios
.get(api, {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
responseType: "arraybuffer",
})
.then((res) => {
try {
fs.writeFile("NodeReport.xlsx", res.data, (error) => {
console.log(error);
});
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
});
In this modification, the data is retrieved as the array buffer and saved the data as an XLSX file.
If the exported file is broken, please modify
fs.writeFile("NodeReport.xlsx", res.data, (error) => {tofs.writeFile("NodeReport.xlsx", new Buffer.from(res.data), (error) => {and test it again.
