SheetDB

Turn any Google Spreadsheet into a JSON API

Visit SheetDB

SheetDB turns a Google Spreadsheet into a JSON API, letting you read and edit spreadsheet data through GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests. It connects sheets to CRMs, websites, WordPress and other applications, so a spreadsheet can serve as a data source or CMS for tools that expect JSON.

The service provides libraries for HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, axios.js, PHP, Ruby, Python, Swift and Node.js, plus a Handlebars snippet for using sheet content without writing code. API options include sorting, pagination, caching, custom permissions, CORS origin restriction and IP whitelist, with batch update, tab creation/deletion and global endpoints on higher tiers. Support is available by email and chat.

SheetDB is aimed at developers, digital agencies and non-technical users who want to manage data in Google Sheets. Pricing is subscription-based with monthly or annual billing, scaled by the number of spreadsheet APIs and requests per month, from a free forever plan through paid tiers; a team edition supports multiple users, and custom arrangements are available for additional requests, APIs and integrations.
