This is a really clever idea. So simple and almost-obvious, yet it's the first time I come across this. Genius. Particularly like the fact that REST APIs are pretty easy to start…

This is very well executed. Combined with "jq" on command line for testing stuff, could be really useful. http://stedolan.github.io/jq/tutorial/

I know you're still working things out, but I feel that your free tier is overly generous and your Business tier is a steal at $20. If it assuages a pain point for someone, that…

Honestly I think you are giving away too much on the free plan. You should try removing the free plan and have pricing like: ``` Hobby => $8 Business => $29 Enterprise => Contact…

What makes this better than using the Google Docs API? I could have anyone write to a spreadsheet and in turn it would be updated when called on their API. In fact I do that for…

you could just use google's API as well.

I'm guessing I'm simply not considering the target audience, but so far as I know the groups (people who communicate primarily via spreadsheets) and (people who know what an API…

Really cool!....Unfortunately, no business is ever going to "build APIs on top of their existing spreadsheets".

Looks neat but can you add a github (or google/otheroauthprovider) login...the register page is way too daunting for me. Either that or provide an account-less mode for trying…

Would it be possible to include google spreadsheets as an input source?

Yes, certainly. Consider it added to the todo list. It wasn't a priority for a prototype, as the users I'm targeting are generally not Google Docs users anyway (at least in my…

Hey, great idea. You should make the link to the example API more prominet in my opinion.

You need to put up some examples of what can be done by this service. Something visitors can interact with without registering is ideal to convince them to register.

Bad: Missing screenshots. (Examples) Good: Real text, not just a video.

I stared at that for 10 minutes trying to find the spreadsheet. I assume there is a spreadsheet backing it? You should actually show people the spreadsheet - just seeing an API…

+1 on showing the spreadsheet. It doesn't have to be on the docs, can be on the website. I'd put front and center, if you have this spreadsheet, it creates this API. You can even…

Neat. I'll be interested to see how access restriction by user is handled? Obscure header key or URL? Something authenticated? I guess I will have to sign up to find out. It…

This is really cool, and a nice implementation. My question is about target customers. Presumably, you have two sides to this: non-devs writing and uploading the spreadsheet, and…

There is also APISpark, a full stack PaaS for web APIs, that provides a "spreadsheet-to-web API" feature. It works both in read and write mode. See tutorial:…

Actually there is a company out there called https://www.ragic.com/. Not exactly same but similar.

Just going to leave this here...https://github.com/gimite/google-spreadsheet-ruby

The closest thing I'm aware of is this: https://github.com/arcturus/node-csv2api Edit: I should add that Sheetlabs uses loads of open source goodies under the hood. For…
