Overview

Sheetsu (now SheetDB) lets you turn any Google Spreadsheet into a REST API with full CRUD support. This means you can read, create, update, and delete rows in a spreadsheet using standard HTTP requests without writing any backend code. It is ideal for beginners who want a quick data store or CMS without setting up a database.

💡

Beginner Tip

Create a public Google Sheet, connect it via SheetDB to get a unique API URL, then use GET to read rows and POST to add new ones — no server setup required.

Available Data

Use case: Integrate easy google sheets integration data into web and mobile applications
Sheetsu data via REST API
JSON-formatted response data
Requires API key authentication

Example Response

JSON Response 
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from Sheetsu",
    "description": "Easy google sheets integration",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Field Reference

id Auto-generated row identifier (if an id column exists in the sheet)
columns (dynamic) Each column header in row 1 of the spreadsheet becomes a JSON key in the response
created Timestamp of when the row was added (if the sheet includes a created column)

Implementation Example 

const url = "https://sheetsu.com/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized API key not included or the sheet is not connected to SheetDB

404 Not Found Incorrect sheet ID in the URL
✓ Copy the exact API URL from your SheetDB dashboard; the sheet ID is auto-generated
Empty array returned The connected Google Sheet has no data rows or the header row is missing
✓ Ensure your spreadsheet has a header row in row 1 and at least one data row below it
