Sheetson - Turn Google Sheets into RESTful API
Turn Google Sheets into RESTful API instantly. No setup, no maintenance, no coding required.
Categories:
Sheetson instantly turns Google Sheets into a RESTful API, enabling developers to use spreadsheets as a backend database without any setup or coding.
🚀 Overview
Sheetson solves the challenge of quickly provisioning a backend for prototypes, MVPs, and simple data-driven apps by transforming familiar Google Sheets into a secure, RESTful API—no servers, auth, or maintenance needed.
It's built for developers, indie makers, and small teams creating portfolios, menus, job boards, online stores, and other non-user-generated content projects where speed to production matters.
The project was created to bridge the gap between easy spreadsheet editing and app-ready APIs, allowing focus on frontend and features while handling data reliably.
✨ Key Features
- Instant API setup: Share your Google Sheet with google@sheetson.com; use spreadsheet ID for authentication and access CRUD endpoints.
- Secure proxy: Data never stored on Sheetson servers; direct Google Sheets API calls with private sharing (what it does and why it matters for privacy).
- RESTful CRUD operations: Read, create, update, delete rows with standard HTTP methods.
- Queries: Basic pagination (Free), advanced filtering, sorting (Pro); high performance and rate limiting.
- Optional: JSON formatter tool; unmetered requests (Google quotas apply).
🛠 Tech Stack
- Frontend: Modern JavaScript framework with Tailwind CSS (inferred from site design)
- Backend: Custom Node.js/Google Cloud proxy to Google Sheets API
- Database: Google Sheets
