Google Sheet to JSON Endpoint

This guide defines the process of converting a Google Sheet into a publicly callable JSON endpoint. You don't need external hosting of any kind, everything is done within Google Sheets.

This API Endpoint can be used to provide content to an app able to consume JSON.

Installation

Add the scripts Main.gs and SheetToJSON.gs to an existing or new Google Sheets Workbook.

Usage

The script supports nesting, simply use the dash - in the column name and the script will create the appropriate structure.

Example Sheet

COLUMN NAME	COLUMN_NAME	COLUMN-NEST-NAME	COLUMN-NEST_NAME	COLUMN_NEST-NAME
value1	value2	value3	value4	value5
value6	value7	value8	value9	value10

Output

[
  {
    "COLUMN NAME": "value1",
    "COLUMN_NAME": "value2",
    "COLUMN": {
      "NEST": {
        "NAME": "value3"
      },
      "NEST_NAME": "value4"
    },
    "COLUMN_NEST": {
      "NAME": "value5"
    }
  },
  {
    "COLUMN NAME": "value6",
    "COLUMN_NAME": "value7",
    "COLUMN": {
      "NEST": {
        "NAME": "value8"
      },
      "NEST_NAME": "value9"
    },
    "COLUMN_NEST": {
      "NAME": "value10"
    }
  }
]
