Create spreadsheets & documents with Swift

Create a shareable spreadsheet from Swift using URLSession — no third-party networking library. Useful in iOS/macOS apps and server-side Swift (Vapor) where you want to generate a report and hand the user a link. The example uses async/await.

var req = URLRequest(url: URL(string:
    "https://openofficeai.com/api/v1/sheets")!)
req.httpMethod = "POST"
req.setValue("Bearer YOUR_API_KEY", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
req.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
req.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: [
    "title": "Q3 Revenue",
    "sheets": [["rows": [
        ["Month", "Revenue", "Growth"],
        ["July", 48200, "+12%"]
    ]]]
])

let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: req)
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as! [String: Any]
print(json["url"] as! String)

How to create a spreadsheet with Swift

1. 1Build a URLRequest with the Authorization and Content-Type headers.
2. 2Serialize the body with JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject:).
3. 3await URLSession.shared.data(for:) and parse the JSON.
4. 4Read the url field and present or store the link.
