About Execution To Xlsx

Ever finish a web scrape and just need a simple spreadsheet? I built this actor because I kept running into that exact problem. You give it the execution ID from any Apify crawler run, and it handles the rest: it fetches the raw JSON dataset, converts it into a clean, organized XLSX file, and pushes it right back into your Apify storage. It's perfect for when you need to quickly share data with non-technical team members, import results into Excel for analysis, or just prefer working with spreadsheets over JSON. No complex setup or code required—just plug in the ID and get your file. It saves me the hassle of writing a one-off conversion script every single time. If you're working with Apify's platform and need to get your crawled data into Excel format reliably, this open-source tool is a straightforward solution that does one job and does it well.

Documentation

Execution To Xlsx

Overview

This actor takes a crawler execution ID, downloads the dataset results, and converts them into an XLSX (Excel) file. It's designed for developer workflows, particularly when triggered via a crawler's finish webhook.

Key Features

  • Converts Apify dataset results to XLSX format.
  • Can be triggered directly with an execution ID or via a crawler webhook.
  • Outputs a publicly accessible URL to the generated file.

How to Use

Provide the actor with a JSON object containing the _id of the target execution.

Example Input:

{
  "_id": "EXECUTION_ID"
}

You can run it manually with this input or configure it as the Finish webhook for a crawler actor. The actor will process the dataset from the given execution and generate the spreadsheet.

Input/Output

Input:
The actor expects a JSON input with the execution ID.

{
  "_id": "your_execution_id_here"
}

Output:
After processing, the actor stores the XLSX file and provides its URL. You can find this URL in two places:
1. In the actor's default OUTPUT, under the output key.
javascript { "output": "RESULT_XLSX_URL" }
2. Printed in the actor's execution log.

Use the provided URL to download the generated XLSX file.
