Description
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" makes some of you twitch. It's not meant to replace Postgres. 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?

Could you build this?
Yes This is a straightforward API wrapper that fetches Google Sheets via the Google Drive/Sheets API, parses the tabular data into JSON, and serves it over HTTP with API key authentication.
