About

The Google Sheets API turns a Google Sheet into a live, free database you can read and update from any app or script. Startups and hobbyists use it to power dashboards, log form submissions, and sync data between tools without setting up a real database. Free with any Google account, and the spreadsheet stays editable by humans in the normal Sheets app.
