Google Sheets API
The Google Sheets API is a RESTful interface that allows developers to programmatically read, write, and manipulate data in Google Sheets spreadsheets. It enables integration with external applications for tasks like data import/export, automation, and real-time updates. This API supports operations such as creating sheets, editing cell values, formatting, and managing permissions.
Developers should learn the Google Sheets API when building applications that require spreadsheet data management, such as data dashboards, reporting tools, or workflow automation systems. It is particularly useful for scenarios where users need to interact with spreadsheet data programmatically, like syncing data from databases, generating reports, or enabling collaborative data entry in web or mobile apps.
