Csv To Ics API

POST https://api.findutils.com/api/tools/csv-to-ics/execute

Turn a CSV of events into an iCalendar (.ics) file that Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook import. Columns are matched by name: Subject or Title, Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, All Day Event, Description, Location and a few aliases, so a Google Calendar or Outlook export maps with no configuration; column_map overrides any of them. Each row needs a title and a start. A row with no time, or All Day Event set, becomes an all-day event. Times are written as stated; an optional IANA time zone is stamped on them, UTC writes Z, and no zone writes floating time. Rows without a title or a readable start are skipped and listed. Recurrence is not inferred from text.

Request body

application/json
  • input

    string required

    CSV text with a header row.

  • delimiter

    string optional

    Field separator. Default: detected from the header (comma, semicolon, tab or pipe).

  • calendar_name

    string optional

    Written as X-WR-CALNAME so the calendar app shows it. Default: none.

  • timezone

    string optional

    IANA zone such as Europe/Istanbul, stamped on every timed event as TZID. UTC writes a Z suffix. Default: none, so times float and the importing calendar reads them in its own zone. A Time Zone column overrides it per row.

  • date_format

    string optional

    How to read a date like 03/04/2026. auto (default): month-first unless a part is above 12. ISO dates are always read as-is. One of auto · ymd · dmy · mdy. Default "auto".

  • default_duration_minutes

    integer optional

    Length of a timed event that has no end. Default 60. Default 60.

  • column_map

    object optional

    Header name per field when the automatic match is wrong: summary, start, start_time, end, end_time, all_day, description, location, private, uid, url, categories, timezone.
