You have data in a Google Sheet, but getting it onto your website in a usable format is a different challenge. Instead of copying and pasting, this course teaches you how to create a dynamic, programmatic connection. You will learn to use Google Apps Script to output your sheet data as JSON, create an API endpoint that you can request with JavaScript, and build a fun, interactive project from scratch. This is a practical, hands-on approach to turning a simple spreadsheet into a powerful data source for your web applications.

This Course Offers

• Turning a Google Sheet into a JSON API: Learn to output sheet data as an array in a web app endpoint using the doGet() method, and restructure your JSON object with properties derived dynamically from the sheet headers.
• Using JavaScript Fetch to get and display data: Use JavaScript's Fetch API to retrieve the JSON data from your web app endpoint and output it in the console. Then, learn to output the JSON data to a webpage for a dynamic user experience.
• Sending data back to the sheet (POST): Explore how to use the doPost() method in Apps Script to send data from your webpage back to the Google Sheet. You will use JavaScript Fetch and FormData methods to create an interactive page that can update your spreadsheet.
• Troubleshooting and debugging common issues: Learn to use the Apps Script IDE and Logger to debug and troubleshoot your application, including common CORS issues, ensuring your connection is reliable and robust.
