Hey @Michaloblak! Very interesting concept to put together a really simple API for a really simple MVP. Why would I not use Stamplay.com or other similar, pretty seamless and simple to use, services and choose Sheetsu instead? I'm asking because of the fact that something like Stamplay, will be easier to scale rather than a google spreadsheet. Thanks!

@kostgx Hi Kostas! Stamplay.com is very great product indeed. It can take care about everything - managing users, sending them emails, etc. It's really great. Sheetsu is for small things and really quick prototyping. It's bad idea to manage users with Sheetsu. But it's really simple to implement custom form or surveys with Sheetsu. Or mocking tests. Idea of Sheetsu is not to use Google Spreadsheet as a production database for a big projects. It's for testing out ideas, connecting spreadsheets with other platforms or creating small things which doesn't need heavy backend. It could also help you connect zaps or use Google Spreadsheet as a DB for simple cases.

Michael, I can definitely see myself using this for prototyping and testing. Great job. I'll be sharing the link with my contacts for sure.

@tattle_jz Thanks for kind words. Feel free to use it and spread the word about Sheetsu.

Cool Idea! is there a way to authorise or limit who can GET and POST the api?

@michaloblak Does this have PUT functionality for updating an existing record or just POST?

@ryanmarr Hi Ryan, Right now it's just POST and GET. I'll add PUT/PATCH and DELETE soon. I'm getting tons of feedback on Twitter and in one of the spreadsheets which is accessible by API (made with Sheetsu of course), which is really cool! I really appreciate it. I'll process that data and develop the most needed features.

@ecleel Hi Abdulaziz, Right now there's no such possibility. But I'll add it to the to do list ;)

@markiyanm Thanks :) Quick mock-ups was one of the reasons I've created this app.

For those who are interested, I've created a simple wrapper in PHP: https://github.com/diegoiglesias...

Kudos Michael - what are the main differences from the Google Sheets API? Cheers.
Diego Iglesias
@bennett_up For me, main difference is simplicity. Just give permissions to the app and start playing around. Super simple and right to the point . Now there is a beta version that allows GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE so you almost do pretty much the same as with Google's API but much easier.

Love this, great idea with great support. I think a lot of non-technical businesses would benefit greatly from such a simple CMS. It is likely this is where there data sits anyway.

Pros:

Simple, Simple, Simple

Cons:

None
