Hi guys,

My sister and I built this tool to easily convert a spreadsheet into an API link.

We had a personal need for this when we were working on creating a model with some real estate data for a client. We found ourselves constantly emailing each other the updated spreadsheets and having to reimport them in our code again and again. We used the Google Sheets API for a bit but wanted something even more simple for less experienced members on our team.

So we made this web app and corresponding libraries in R and Python. You can re-upload an updated file and your script won’t need to be updated. We also started using this for small hobby websites instead of setting up a database.

As a launch and early adopter pricing, we are offering this for $10 paid just once (no monthly) if you need over 10,000 rows. We will be constantly working on improving this tool.

We hope you find this helpful and would love to hear feedback from you guys if you use it!

Neat, can I ask how this is different from the Google Sheets API?
It's focused towards Data Scientists. We built Python and R libraries so you don't have to be understand REST API concepts to get and share your data. And I think it's much easier to get started with :)
This is the best thing of 2019.
This is very useful thing.
