Turn your AS400 files into clean API requests, automatically

Stop copying data by hand. I build you a tailored pipeline, starting from a solid, battle-tested baseline, that reads, validates and transforms your AS400-sourced CSV and Excel exports, then pushes them straight to any REST API. Rent it as a service or buy the full application with source code.

The AS400 data bottleneck

IBM i / AS400 systems export rigid CSV and Excel files. Getting that data into a modern API usually means tedious manual cleanup, fragile spreadsheet macros, and copy-paste errors. I automate the whole pipeline for you.

I've spent years supporting IBM environments, so I know how AS400 exports really behave, and I pair that with deep web development expertise in PHP and Laravel. You get someone who speaks both the legacy side and the modern API side, building exactly what your case needs.

How it works

Four steps, fully automated, repeatable on every file, tailored to your formats and your API.

1

Read

Ingest CSV and Excel files exported from AS400, including fixed-width and delimited layouts.

2

Process

Validate rows, detect errors, and normalize encodings, dates and number formats.

3

Transform

Map columns to your target schema with custom rules, lookups and field formatting.

4

Send

Deliver the result to any REST API with auth, batching and retry on failure.

What you get

A solid baseline I customize to your case, built for legacy data realities, not ideal-world inputs.

Flexible ingestion

CSV, .xlsx and .xls. Handles odd delimiters, headers, encodings and AS400 quirks.

Validation & reporting

Catch bad rows before they reach your API. Clear error reports per file run.

Field mapping

Point-and-map columns to API fields, with transforms, defaults and lookups.

Any REST API

Configurable endpoints, headers and token / key authentication.

Batching & retries

Chunked delivery with automatic retry so large files land reliably.

Run history

Track every processed file, what was sent, and what failed.

Rent it or own it

Choose the model that fits you. Either way, I deliver a working pipeline customized to your data.

Frequently asked questions

What file formats does it support?

CSV and Excel (.xlsx, .xls) files exported from AS400 / IBM i systems, including fixed-width and delimited exports.

Can I send data to my own API?

Yes. The processor maps your file columns to any REST API payload, with configurable endpoints, authentication and field transformations.

Do I have to host it myself?

No. Rent the hosted service and I run it for you. If you prefer full control, buy the application with source code and deploy it on your own infrastructure.

Can I customize the transformation rules?

Absolutely. Mapping, validation and transformation rules are configurable. With the source-code option you can extend anything.
