Manage your services

The service list is the start page of the app. This page explains how to create, find, duplicate, group and delete services there, and what the status labels mean.

The list

Each service is one row or card. It shows the name, when it was last changed, the description, the number of calls (once there are any) and a status label. The most recently changed service is on top.

• Click a service to open it.
• Use the search field to filter by name, description or service ID.
• Use the two icons next to the search field to switch between cards and rows.

Status labels

Create a service

1. Click New Service (Neuer Service) at the top right.
2. A new draft opens, named "Service" plus today's date.
3. Bring in your workbook; see Import an Excel file or Start from scratch.

You can also drop an Excel, CSV or JSON file onto the list. The new service takes the file's name and opens with the file loaded.

The menu of a service

Click the three dots on a service:

• Copy ID (ID kopieren): copies the service ID.
• Copy Endpoint (Endpunkt kopieren): copies the API address of the service. Only for published services.
• Duplicate (Duplizieren): makes a copy.
• Move to Project (In Projekt verschieben): shown once you have a project.
• Delete (Löschen): deletes the service.

Duplicate a service

1. Click the three dots, then Duplicate.
2. A copy appears in the list. It has the original name with "(Copy)" at the end.

The copy is a draft with its own service ID and its own address. It has the workbook, the inputs, outputs and AI areas, and the settings of the original. Tokens are not copied: they belong to one service, so create new ones for the copy under API → Access. Publish the copy when it is ready.

A copy is a good way to try a larger change without touching the service your callers use.

Delete a service

1. If the service is published, open it and unpublish it first. The list answers "Cannot delete published service" otherwise.
2. Click the three dots, then Delete.
3. Confirm Delete this service? with Yes. This cannot be undone.

What is removed with a service is described in Delete a service or the account.

Projects

Projects group services, like folders.

1. Under Projects (Projekte), click + New. A project named "New Project" appears.
2. Click the three dots on the project and Rename (Umbenennen) to name it.
3. Add a service: drag it onto the project, or use Move to Project in the service's menu.
4. Click a project to see only its services.

A service is in one project at a time. Remove from Project (Aus Projekt entfernen) puts it back under Unassigned (Nicht zugeordnet). Delete Project (Projekt löschen) removes the project only; its services stay.

Projects are remembered in the browser you created them in. On another device or browser the list shows the same services without the grouping.

Limits

For developers and agents

• The service ID from Copy ID is the {serviceId} in every address, for example https://spreadapi.io/api/v1/services/{serviceId}/execute.
• A duplicate has a new ID, is a draft and has no tokens. Calls to it answer 404 until it is published.
• Deleting a service is final; its address answers 404 afterwards.

FAQ

How do I create a new service?

Click New Service at the top right of the service list, or drop an Excel, CSV or JSON file onto the list. A new draft opens.

How do I copy a service?

Click the three dots on the service and choose Duplicate. The copy is a draft with its own ID; its name is the original name with "(Copy)" at the end.

Are tokens copied when I duplicate a service?

No. Tokens belong to one service, so create new tokens for the copy under API → Access after publishing it.

Why can I not delete my service?

A published service cannot be deleted. Open it, click Published and Unpublish, then delete it from the list.

Where do I find the service ID?

Click the three dots on the service in the list and choose Copy ID. For a published service, Copy Endpoint copies the full API address.

What does the label "Private" on a service mean?

The service is kept on this device only and is not stored in your account online. It cannot be called over the API in that state.

My projects are missing on another computer. Why?

Projects are remembered per browser. Your services are all there; group them again on the other device if you need the same view.

Does deleting a project delete its services?

No. Only the project is removed; its services appear under Unassigned again.

Can I search for a service by its ID?

Yes. The search field matches the name, the description and the service ID.

How many services can I have?

Drafts are not limited. How many services can be published at the same time depends on the plan; see The published services limit.
