API Spreadsheets

Skip the blank slate. Start with the spreadsheets your team already trusts and turn them into working data services in minutes. Upload a file or connect a source—Excel, Google Sheets, Dropbox, or a custom ingestion endpoint—then map columns, set data types, and preview how rows will flow into your project. The import wizard validates headers and formats, merges multiple tabs if you choose, and generates starter API snippets so you can call your data right away from JavaScript, Python, or cURL. Once live, the same dataset can power internal tools, customer-facing widgets, or back-office workflows without rebuilding your stack.

Operate on your records using straightforward HTTP endpoints and familiar query patterns. Create new rows from a form submission, list entries with filters, update a single item by its identifier, or remove obsolete lines when needed. SQL-like expressions let you filter, sort, group, and limit results without writing a custom backend—use where clauses, order by, joins across sheets you’ve linked, and pagination for large tables. Typical flows: patch inventory counts during a sale, append new leads from a landing page, bulk-update pricing from a CSV, or fetch only the last 50 support tickets assigned to a specific team. Test calls in the built-in console, then drop the generated code into your app to ship faster.

Automate visibility so no one needs to chase numbers. Schedule recurring digests that summarize key metrics and send them to email or Slack, attach CSVs for deeper analysis, and keep a running archive for audits. Configure daily snapshots of sales by region, weekly content calendars, or monthly expense rollups from multiple sheets. Add thresholds and alerts to notify owners when targets are missed or anomalies appear. For ad hoc needs, trigger on-demand exports to CSV or JSON and share secure links with stakeholders who don’t need edit access.

Keep control as usage grows. Protect endpoints with project-level API keys and role-based permissions, set request-blocking rules to curb abuse, and restrict access to approved origins for safe embedding. Define schema contracts so integrations don’t break when columns change, then version and promote updates from dev to staging to production. Collaborate with teammates in real time: invite editors and reviewers, leave row-level comments, and track who changed what with an audit trail. Whether you’re prototyping an internal tool or powering part of your product’s UI, you get a stable, queryable, and secure data layer built on the spreadsheets you already manage.
