Build with Automapic

A practical guide to creating projects, importing sheets, generating API keys, and testing endpoints.

What Automapic is

Automapic turns Google Sheets and dashboard-created tables into secure REST APIs. It is useful when a team needs a lightweight backend without building CRUD routes by hand.

Quick start

Create an account, create a project, import a Google Sheet or create a table, then open the generated endpoint in the playground.

Create project

Projects group your tables, sheet sources, API keys, custom domains, and request settings. Use one project per app, client, or data domain.

Import Google Sheet

Paste a public Google Sheet URL. Automapic reads the rows, detects columns, creates a table, and keeps a source record for future syncs.

Generate API key

Private projects require a bearer token. Open API Keys in the dashboard, create a key, copy it once, and store it in your app environment.

Test endpoint

Use the playground to choose a method, set headers, send a request, and inspect status codes before integrating your app.

Common errors

401 Unauthorized

Add Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY or make the project public.

403 Method disabled

Enable the HTTP method from project settings.

404 Table not found

Check the project slug, table slug, and custom domain mapping.

422 Validation failed

Review required fields and field types before creating or updating records.
