Google Sheets are often the first database for internal tools, prototypes, and operations dashboards. Automapic lets you keep that familiar editing flow while exposing the data through REST endpoints.
1. Prepare the sheet
Use the first row for column names and keep one record per row. Avoid merged cells and hidden headers.
2. Import the URL
Create a project, paste the public Google Sheet URL, and let Automapic create the backing table.
3. Test the endpoint
Open the playground, send a GET request, and copy the endpoint into your app once the response looks right.
