About JSON to CSV Converter

Stuck with JSON data you need in a spreadsheet? I've been there. This Apify actor is my go-to for quickly turning JSON into clean, usable CSV files. It's not just a basic converter—it actually handles the messy stuff like nested objects and arrays, intelligently flattening them so your lists become proper rows. You can tweak the separators and delimiters to match whatever system you're importing into, which saves a ton of formatting headache later. Just give it the JSON, either by pasting the text directly or pointing it to a URL. I use it all the time to prep data for analysis in tools like Excel or Google Sheets, or to format API responses for reports. It's one of those simple utilities that just works, letting you focus on the actual work instead of data wrangling. If you need to move data from a web app into a table, this will get it done in seconds.

JSON to CSV Converter

An Apify actor that converts JSON data into CSV format. It automatically flattens nested objects and arrays, making structured data ready for spreadsheets or other tabular tools.

Key Features

  • Flattens Nested JSON: Converts complex, nested objects and arrays into a flat CSV structure.
  • List Expansion: Optional setting to expand array items into separate rows.
  • Flexible Input: Accepts JSON via a direct URL or by pasting raw text.
  • Customizable Output: Allows you to define a custom separator for nested keys (default is a period .).

How to Use

  1. Provide JSON Data:

    • Enter the JSON File URL, or
    • Paste JSON Text directly into the input field.

  2. Configure Options (Optional):

    • Expand Lists into Rows: Enable to create a new CSV row for each item in an array.
    • Key Separator: Change the character used to denote nesting in the CSV headers (e.g., from . to _).

  3. Run the Actor: Click Start to begin conversion.

  4. Get Results: After the run finishes, download the CSV file from the Apify Key-value store.
