GetSheetAPI – Turn Any Google Sheet into a REST API in 60 Seconds

Hey HN, I built GetSheetAPI because I kept writing the same boilerplate: fetch Google Sheet → parse CSV → return JSON. Every freelance project, every prototype, every "can you just pull data from this spreadsheet" request. Now it's just: curl -H "X-API-Key: xxx" https://api.getsheetapi.com/v1/{sheet-id} Returns: {"data": [{"name": "Product A", "price": 29.99}], "meta": {"total": 150, "page": 1}} First row becomes field names. Full CRUD (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE). Pagination built in. Free tier: 100 requests/day, 1 sheet. I know "Google Sheets as a database"…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

But for landing page backends, internal tools, or prototypes that might never need a "real" database — it removes a lot of friction. Would love feedback. What's missing? What would make this actually useful for your workflow?

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
