  There is a major issue about the `json` format required, however just converting to `json` is easy because `iterrows` has to be `pandas` and `pandas` has its own output `json` format ... For example,
  
  ```
  dataframe.to_json('benchling.json'', orient='records', lines=True)
  
  ```
  
  If that fails then,
  
  ```
  jsonOut = dataframe.to_json(orient='records')[1:-1].replace('},{', '} {')
  with open('benchling.json', 'w') as fout:
      fout.write(jsonOut)
  
  ```
  
  However, I don't think it would work and at a minimum I think the headers of the `csv` will need to change.

  The error
  
  > "nucleotide\_length": "Value must be an integer"
  
  Looking at your code ....
  
  ```
  "nucleotide_length": {"value": j['nucl_length']}
  
  ```
  
  Sure this is right?
  
  Why not try ...
  
  ```
  "nucleotide_length": int(j['nucl_length'])
  
  ```
  
  Thats what the error seems to be saying.
