This tutorial guides you on how to insert background image in Excel using Python REST API. You will learn how to add background image in Excel sheet using Python-based API with a Python-based Cloud SDK. The inserted image will be added as a tile in the worksheet and repeated throughout each worksheet in the workbook.

Prerequisite

Steps to Add Background to Excel using Python Low Code API

  1. Set up the CellsApi connection by specifying the client ID, client secret, and the Aspose Cloud endpoint
  2. Define the names of the Excel workbook and the background image to be used
  3. Create an upload request that includes both the Excel file and the image file to be sent to the cloud
  4. Use the Aspose.Cells API to upload the specified files to the cloud
  5. Send a request to insert the uploaded image as a background using the PutWorkbookBackground() method
  6. Request and retrieve the modified Excel file with the background image from the cloud
  7. Write the downloaded stream to a local file and save it as the final output

These steps assist in adding an Excel sheet background using Python REST Interface. First, the API client is initialized using credentials, and the Excel file, along with a background image, is specified and prepared for upload. These files are then uploaded to cloud storage, the image is set as the workbook’s background, and the updated file is downloaded and saved locally.

Code to Insert Background Picture in Excel using Python RESTful Service

The above code demonstrates the process of adding an Excel sheet wallpaper using Python REST API. Note that instead of the entire workbook, you can add a background image to a specific worksheet using the PutWorksheetBackground() method. It requires the desired sheet’s name and allows setting a different background for different sheets.

This article has taught us the process to add a background to a complete Excel file or set a different background image for an individual worksheet. To search and replace text in a workbook, refer to the article Replace Text in Excel using Python REST API.
