Convert Google Sheets into a REST API

[@nickidewet7711]

Brilliant! The first and only video I watched to get a working system that can update google sheet.

[@BetterSheets]

Glad its so useful!

[@1lllllllll1]

Fantastic! After over an hour watching useless redundant other videos, finally I found yours. Useful, technical, concise, clear. Thank you!

[@BetterSheets]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@1lllllllll1]

Watching it again and waiting two minutes until you realize the get function is supposed to be a post, phew! I was worried I’m not understanding this. Would have been good to edit that. But I appreciate the real-time and the debugging, makes this a lot more useful. Now why does google have a method for insertRows and another for insertRow? Why can’t the plural method handle a single row insert. Seems weird.

[@onemoreprince]

its east to keep the deployment URL same, by choosing the manage deployment instead of new deployment and deploying just a new version.

[@BetterSheets]

Yes. Thats true.

amazing! i was looking for this solution for a week!! thanks!

Hello, I have a product catalog on Google sheet that I loaded into eBay, but I would also like to load it into other marketplaces, can I use APIs to synchronize

[@BetterSheets]

Yes if those apis are accessible Maybe need to change data structure. Every api is different.

[@chrisder1814]

@BetterSheets APIs of what, marketplaces? Could you tell me step by step how to do it or could you recommend some tutorials to read?

[@macreations0528]

When i calling from Postman works fine but same api calling from my current local web project throwing error as CORS issue.

[@BetterSheets]

Not sure what you mean by local web project. Perhaps an issue with headers or GET/ POST.

[@macreations0528]

@@BetterSheets i mean calling with using axios.

[@wesleybarnes5376]

Nice! I used this with apple shortcuts

[@BetterSheets]

Interesting!!

[@polgomezroyo5233]

This is amazing!! Thanks a lot for the very clear explanation!

[@polgomezroyo5233]

Is there anything I should change to make it work with the keys being defined in the API Call body? I'm such a noob with this lmao

[@BetterSheets]

I wish I had more information to help you out.

[@BetterSheets]

fantastic

[@wanderlust0120]

Hey nice video! But if they decide to repeal some of these features? Cause they have done it before with the Google docs API

[@BetterSheets]

Not yet

[@lavilimp]

I love this! Thank you so much for giving me a cool idea to utilize for my projects going forward!

[@BetterSheets]

glad it was helpful!

[@showkothasanRaha]

That was great 😍

[@BetterSheets]

Awesome!

[@corneduring9730]

My POST function works when testing it with postman, but I get CORS errors when implementing it with my react application. How do I fix this?!

[@BetterSheets]

React app? So not google sheets?

[@dhimahi8949]

I guess the OP is making the call to the post endpoint from the react app while trying to read/write to the google sheets.

[@dhimahi8949]

What workef fot me is setting the content type to be text/plain; charset=utf-8

[@baldyardigan]

When I create an API with this and send a request from my next.js app, I get a CORS issue. Have you encountered or solved this?

[@BetterSheets]

Havent seen this yet.

[@felixobianozie3745]

Are you sending the requests using fetch, axios, or what? Maybe a few tweaks in your configuration might help if you can share. But take the following into consideration: content type should be plain text and increase your default timeout if you are waiting for async responses else you will suffer response timeout problems too.

[@radovankrizalkovic9084]

CORS issue is sometimes misleading - could be any server error, depending on your setup. Try find where the error actually happens

[@arienugraha7554]

Cool stuff! Is it possible to make an online form using this method. (if I'dont want to use GForm) how's the performance if the concurrent hit reach 10k per minute.

[@BetterSheets]

Yes you can. I dont think its great at so many calls at once.

[@rahul_bali]

that's really cool... can we do this with json data ?

[@BetterSheets]

Yes

[@AlaskaFuture]

Halo, why di Rest API cannot fetch in PHP something wrong or this cannot use in PHP?

[@BetterSheets]

Cannot use PHP

[@AlaskaFuture]

@@BetterSheets it's work and have tried, now i can use in PHP, Thankyou

[@tig4rx]

Does each post/get request counts as one Google Sheets API request? And is possible to use Bearer token to prevent anyone with the link to just be able to manipulate the data?

[@BetterSheets]

You can set up a token system yes.

[@tig4rx]

@@BetterSheets Awesome, do you know if each post/get request counts as one Google Sheets API request? Or they aren't sharing the quota?

[@BetterSheets]

@@tig4rx don't think they are sharing the quota.

[@paywanddelshad7722]

Man you just made the hell out of the google sheets

[@BetterSheets]

Is that a good thing?

@@BetterSheets yes absolutely this is the best tutorial I have seen regarding this subject well thanks man keep it up and God bless you.

[@cgc2300]

hello I'm creating a new message because I just noticed that the replies to my first message are all deleted I think KZbin deletes them automatically otherwise I wanted to ask you if you use the APIs ? If so then I don't know at all how to do it and I wanted to ask you if the ideas I had are feasible and how I could make them come true

[@BetterSheets]

Which api?

[@cgc2300]

@BetterSheets to start I would have liked to read examples to understand what I can do by connecting 2 APIs that of Google sheet and Google drag for example, what result could I obtain then I would like to understand what I could do if I connect Google sheet with the chatgpt API when I create a custom GPT and finally I would like to know the other way to use the GPT chat API, in The Playground, as a gpt agent, what result I could obtain if I connect it with different applications including that of Google sheets

[@cgc2300]

@@BetterSheets To summarize, do you know if there is a site on which I could read examples, use cases, so that I can understand how to use the database function and the API function, so that I can understand why to use these two functions? The tutorials give me the theory but don't explain it to me concretely

[@iamGobinda]

Is it safe to use this? Is there any way to secure the APIs?

[@BetterSheets]

Yes. You can secure it as much as you want.

hello I made a product catalog on Google sheet then I brought this catalog into WordPress I was wondering if it would be possible thanks to the combination of Google Sheet APIs, WordPress and the use of n8n software during the sequence that we are going to see and how many times would it be possible for all the keywords present in the description column of each of the products to be automatically replaced by good keywords? and the same with the images

[@BetterSheets]

Anything is possible
