VBA-Web is a VBA library that lets Excel, Access, and other Office applications call web services and REST APIs on Windows and Mac. It provides a WebClient with JSON parsing, cookies, headers, and built-in authentication support.

Use cases

  • call rest apis from excel vba
  • parse json responses in vba
  • authenticate with oauth 2.0 from office macros
  • pull data from web services into excel
  • connect access to external apis
  • make http requests from vba on mac and windows

When to choose

  • you need to consume REST APIs from Excel, Access, or other VBA-hosted Office apps
  • you want built-in OAuth, Basic, and Windows authentication in VBA
  • you need cross-platform (Windows and Mac) VBA HTTP support

When to avoid

  • you are working outside the VBA/Office ecosystem
  • you need XML parsing on Mac, which is currently unsupported
  • you are building a modern add-in where Office.js or a .NET/Python stack fits better
