How this service works
Parse an A1-style cell reference (e.g. "B3" or "$AA$100") into 1-based row and column numbers, plus the column letters and whether each part is absolute.
Output
The endpoint returns the numeric row and column indices corresponding to the given A1-style cell reference, allowing programmatic use of the cell's position in a spreadsheet grid.
Example use cases
Formula parser cell coordinate lookup
“I'm parsing a spreadsheet formula and need to know the row and column numbers for cell D7 — can you convert that A1 reference to RC format?”
Absolute reference coordinate extraction
“What are the row and column numbers for the absolute cell reference $C$5 in a spreadsheet?”
Spreadsheet automation cell positioning
“I need to programmatically position to cell AA12 in a spreadsheet — convert that A1 address to numeric row and column coordinates for me.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://spreadsheet.openverbs.com/v1/a1-to-rcWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically convert human-readable A1-style spreadsheet cell addresses (like 'B3' or '$A$1') to numeric row-column coordinates, especially in automation workflows that process spreadsheet formulas, build grid navigation logic, or integrate with APIs that expect RC-format cell positions.
Side effects
- Invalid or empty ref string returns a validation error
- ref exceeds 32 characters returns schema validation failure
- Malformed A1 notation (e.g. missing column letter or row number) may return an error or unexpected result
- Payment failure results in 402 response before processing occurs
