What is the Spreadsheets Data API?

The Google Spreadsheets Data API allows client applications to view and update Spreadsheets content in the form of Google Data API ("GData") feeds. Your client application can request a list of a user's spreadsheets, edit or delete content in an existing Spreadsheets worksheet, and query the content in an existing Spreadsheets worksheet.

Here are some of the things you can do with the Spreadsheets Data API:

  • Use a spreadsheet as a database and access data for another application via the Spreadsheets Data API.
  • Use an external graphing library with the Spreadsheets Data API to add nice looking graphs to your site.
  • Implement auto-filtering and other spreadsheet functionality in an application you build for your users.
