Accessing a Schema

This article shows one example of how you can access and look at a schema for the REST service in Excel Services. This article assumes that you have read Sample URI For Excel Services REST API.

Note

The Excel Services REST API applies to SharePoint and SharePoint 2016 on-premises. For Microsoft 365 Education, Business, and Enterprise accounts, use the Excel REST APIs that are part of the Microsoft Graph endpoint.

Viewing a Schema

In the browser address bar, type the URI to an Atom XML feed by using a URI, as follows:

https://{{myserver}}/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/Docs/Documents/sampleWorkbook.xlsx/model/Ranges('Sheet1!A1|H3')?$format=atom

Right-click the webpage, and then select View Source.

You should see a schema that looks similar to the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<entry xml:base="http://excel.live.com/REST"
       xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2008/07/excelservices/rest"
       xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservice"
       xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata"
       xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title type="text">Sheet1!A1:H3</title>
  <id>http://myserver/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/Docs/Documents/sampleWorkbook.xlsx/model/Ranges('Sheet1!A1%7CH3')</id>
