In contrast to Google Sheets, Airtable has an actual API.

I'm not sayin Airtable is a silver bullet though.

I thought google sheets had two apis: one hosted (gscript) and the other web services.

Confirmed, Google Sheets does have an API and it works very well, see https://developers.google.com/sheets/api

Google Sheets API is a nightmare compared to Airtable API.

There are external services like Sheetsu or Sheety to make Google Sheets API usable.

I remember seeing an external tool from the Ruby world on hacker news not too long ago, can't remember it's name though.

If the tool actually makes it easier to access the api, I would prefer Google sheets over airtable.
