# Ics To Csv — REST API endpoint `ics-to-csv`

Convert an iCalendar (.ics) export from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook into CSV, one row per event. Folded lines, escaped text, TZID and UTC stamps, all-day dates, DURATION and X-WR-CALNAME are read. Times stay exactly as the file states them and are never converted between zones; the zone travels in its own column. A recurrence rule is written as text in the rrule column, not expanded into every occurrence. The outlook layout writes the nine-column header Google Calendar and Outlook accept on import. To-dos, journals and events with no readable start are skipped and counted.
