Как загрузить данные из любого API в Google Sheets (data stream)
Всем привет! Я Лаптев Алексей, основатель и главный разработчик группы сервисов в datamonster.
В первую для задач аналитики, когда готовых сервисов нет или по каким-то причинам их использование невозможно.
- Выгрузка статистики в Google Sheets из Яндекс Метрики, Google Analytics
- Выгрузка статистики в Google Sheets из рекламных кабинетов Яндекс Директ, ВКонтакте
- Выгрузка статистики в Google Sheets из маркетплейсов Ozon, Wildberries
- Выгрузка данных из сервисов с которыми нет коннекторов, но где есть API
Ввиду проблем с работой сервисов западных партнеров, мы в apimonster сделали свой вариант.
- Создаем запрос к api по аналогии с работой в postman. Обычно нужно указать url, токен и параметры запроса.
- Форматируем полученные данные в нужный табличный вид
- Подключаем Google Sheets, указываем рабочий лист
- Настраиваем выгрузку — на основании какого запроса в api по какому расписанию в какой лист Google Sheets заливать данные.
Все, ничего сложного, но если сложности возникли, есть настройка под ключ.

Готово, каждый день данные из api будут добавляться в Google Sheets
Сам сервис здесь, помощь с настройкой здесь.
Сервис в бете, возможны шероховатости.
Ну вы, конечно, обнаглевшие ребята. Я к вам пришел с этой идеей, предложил партнерство, вы её реализовали, закрыли чат и даже спасибо не сказали.
Тут стоить уточнить, что ваша роль которую вы видели в реализации довольно очевидной идеи — статья на VC.
Мы же нагло реализовали все, в том числе для вас.
вот козлы. Сочувствую. И непонятно, как делиться идеей, чтобы ее, может, и использовали бы, но хотя бы сказали "спасибо"
Алексей, скажите пожалуйста, хочу реализовать передачу данных из сервиса Wapico(WhatsApp рассылки), в Google sheets через API, вопрос в том что мне нужны данные только определённого типа, например "только те клиенты что ответили на сообщение" так как полностью все данные выгружать это 1000+ отправленных сообщений в день, это не очень целесообразно, можете ли вы на базе своего сервиса мне. этим помочь, естественно в рамках договора?
Там вебхуков нет, но на базе ваззап24 в целом реализуемо.
Я прошу прощения, так как я человек практически ничего не понимающий в разработке, коде и тд, "там" это на базе сервиса wapico? они утверждают что есть, а если "там" это в Google sheets, то у меня ломается мозг, зачем в таблицах вебхук
JavaScript quickstart
Quickstarts explain how to set up and run an app that calls a Google Workspace API.
Google Workspace quickstarts use the API client libraries to handle some details of the authentication and authorization flow. We recommend that you use the client libraries for your own apps. This quickstart uses a simplified authentication approach that is appropriate for a testing environment. For a production environment, we recommend learning about authentication and authorization before choosing the access credentials that are appropriate for your app.
Create a JavaScript web application that makes requests to the Google Sheets API.
Objectives
- Set up your environment.
- Set up the sample.
- Run the sample.
Prerequisites
-
installed.
- A Google Cloud project.
- A Google Account
Set up your environment
To complete this quickstart, set up your environment.
Enable the API
In the Google Cloud console, enable the Google Sheets API.
Configure the OAuth consent screen
If you're using a new Google Cloud project to complete this quickstart, configure the OAuth consent screen and add yourself as a test user. If you've already completed this step for your Cloud project, skip to the next section.
-
In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu menu >APIs & Services >OAuth consent screen.
For now, you can skip adding scopes and click Save and Continue. In the future, when you create an app for use outside of your Google Workspace organization, you must add and verify the authorization scopes that your app requires.
- Under Test users, click Add users.
- Enter your email address and any other authorized test users, then click Save and Continue.
Authorize credentials for a web application
- In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu menu >APIs & Services >Credentials.
- Client-side apps (JavaScript)–Under Authorized JavaScript origins, click Add URI. Then, enter a URI to use for browser requests. This identifies the domains from which your application can send API requests to the OAuth 2.0 server.
- Server-side apps (Java, Python, and more)–Under Authorized redirect URIs, click Add URI. Then, enter an endpoint URI to which the OAuth 2.0 server can send responses.
Note the Client ID. Client secrets aren’t used for Web applications.
Make a note of these credentials because you need them later in this quickstart.
Create an API key
- In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu menu >APIs & Services >Credentials.
- Click Copy content_copy to copy your API key for use in your app’s code. The API key can also be found in the «API keys» section of your project’s credentials.
- Click Restrict key to update advanced settings and limit use of your API key. For more details, see Applying API key restrictions.
Set up the sample
-
In your working directory, create a file named index.html .
In the index.html file, paste the following sample code:
Replace the following:
- YOUR_CLIENT_ID : the client ID that you created when you authorized credentials for a web application.
- YOUR_API_KEY : the API key that you created as a Prerequisite.
Run the sample
In your working directory, install the http-server package:
In your working directory, start a web server:
- In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:8000 .
- You see a prompt to authorize access:
- If you’re not already signed in to your Google Account, sign in when prompted. If you’re signed in to multiple accounts, select one account to use for authorization.
- Click Accept.
Your JavaScript application runs and calls the Google Sheets API.

API Integration: How to Import Data From API to Google Sheets
In today’s data-driven world, businesses and individuals rely heavily on accurate and up-to-date information for making informed decisions. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are crucial in accessing and integrating data from various sources into different applications. One popular API data integration is importing API data into Google Sheets. Furthermore, it is a versatile and widely-used spreadsheet tool. This blog post will guide you through API integration and demonstrate how to import data from API to Google Sheets.
API data integration with Google Sheets offers several compelling advantages. Firstly, it allows you to combine data from different APIs and sources into a centralized location for analysis and visualization. Furthermore, you can create powerful reports, dashboards, and charts using the familiar interface of Google Sheets. Secondly, it helps you ensure that your information is always up-to-date and reflects real-time changes.
The following guide will walk you through the process, from setting up a new sheet to running your custom script and importing API data. Let’s begin the journey now.

How to Use an API in Google Sheets — RapidAPI for Google Sheets
Google Sheets can be a very powerful tool for storing, managing, and transforming all kinds of data. I use it all the time for tracking my monthly spending, potential conferences RapidAPI might sponsor, emails of partnership leads, my yearly goals, and much more! With Google Sheets being such a useful tool already, we wanted to help enable anyone to supercharge their sheets through the power of APIs.
The RapidAPI add-on for Google Sheets allows you to make API requests to any API on RapidAPI from within a Google Sheet, and embed the data you get back into the sheet — all through a single function that can be dragged down across many rows
This tutorial will walk you through the basics of using the add-on.
Installing the Plugin
To install the plugin, simply head to the Google Sheets add-on store and install the free RapidAPI for Google Sheets add-on. During the installation process, there will be a prompt to accept permissions to run — which are required because this add-on makes requests to external APIs.
By default, the add-on will be disabled in any new spreadsheets that you create. Before using it in a new spreadsheet, you must enable it for that document. To do so:
- Open the sheet you want to use the add-on in.
- Open the “Add-ons” menu at the top of the window.
- Click “Manage Add-ons”
- You should see the RapidAPI Add-on there — click the green “Manage” button next to it and select “Use in this document”. Once selected it should have a check next to it.
Forming the Request
The RapidAPI Google Sheets Add-on supports two different types of functions
The main difference between the two functions is how the response of the data is displayed. If an API has a single object as the response, then you will use the GET function. If the API returns an object that contains an array of values, then you will use the GETARR function.
For this tutorial, we’ll be using the GETARR functionality to search the Movie Database (IMDB Alternative) API to get information about a movie search term.
Subscribing to the API
Before being able to make a request to the API, you’ll first need to subscribe to an API plan. To do that, use the ‘Pricing’ tab. There are four different pricing plans currently available for the API we’re using for this example. The most affordable plan is a free BASIC plan, which allows for 1,000 calls per month and $0.01 for each additional request over 1,000. The plan that allows you the highest amount of requests is the $10 per month MEGA plan, which enables you to make unlimited API calls.
If the API you are using does have an overage fee associated, please be sure to be careful about the number of requests that your account is making. You will be charged for any additional usage. You can keep track of your quota in your RapidAPI Developer Dashboard.
Gathering the Required Information
For the GETARR function, at the bare minimum requires the url, arrPath, selectPaths, and rapidApiKey. You are also able to provide optional and required query string parameters too. All of this information can easily be found on the APIs listing page from RapidAPI. Here’s where you can locate the information:
With this information in hand, you’re ready to start forming your request! Here’s what the full request will look like:
One thing to note here is that after entering all of the required values [url, arrPath, selectPaths, rapidApiKey], you are able to provide the optional and required query string parameters in the following format: ,“key”,”value”,”key2”,”value2”,etc.
When I’m utilizing this tool, I like to format the Spreadsheet by using a cell for the search term since it is the dynamic parameter. This makes it easy to update that particular cell and get a new search result.
The API request is what fills in the IMDB ID, TITLE, Release Year, and Link columns of this spreadsheet. Then as an added bonus, I use the =IMG() function, that is provided by default in Google Sheets, to add in the image of the movie posters based on the link the API returned!
I went ahead and created a template for this specific example to help you get started. The template Google Sheet can be found here.
With this spreadsheet, you can select ‘Add to Drive’ and follow the instructions in this blog post to help you get started. Once you subscribe and have your API key, just add it to the spreadsheet to see your results. For more example use cases, you can take a look at this example spreadsheet that shows you how you can validate a list of email addresses, find stock information, geocode an address.
We’re really excited to see the ways in which you will use the RapidAPI Google Sheets plugin! Shoot us a Tweet at @Rapid_API to let us know what you end up building.
