Resources URI for Excel Services REST API

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

This topic lists the entities that you can link to directly by using the REST API in Excel Services.

Base REST URL

Following is an example of a REST URL to a specific element in a workbook:

http://<ServerName>/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/<DocumentLibrary>/<FileName>/<ResourceLocation>

A relative REST URL is based off the base REST URL. Following is an example of a base REST URL to a specific workbook:

http://<ServerName>/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/<DocumentLibrary>/<FileName>

For example, if you have a workbook named "sampleWorkbook.xlsx" in the following document library:

http://<ServerName>/Docs/Documents/sampleWorkbook.xlsx

The base REST URL to the workbook is:

http://<ServerName>/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/Docs/Documents/sampleWorkbook.xlsx

Table 1 shows all the accessible resources in the Excel Services REST API. To access a particular resource, append the resource location to the base REST URL to a workbook.
