Show HN: Connect to APIs in Google Sheets

Hi HN, a couple days ago I released a Google Sheets Add-on to pull JSON API data directly into Google Sheets. You can enter the URL, query strings, and any required headers into the Add-on sidebar, and can make dynamic requests by referencing cells in the sheet. For example, the API request URL can point to a cell containing today&#x27;s date, which is useful if you want to refresh the data every day.<p>I made this after working on a lot of reporting projects that required aggregating API data from multiple marketing &amp; analytics platforms.<p>As a quick meta-example, here&#x27;s a Google Sheet that checks the Hacker News API for current Show HN&#x27;s and automatically refreshes every hour: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;spreadsheets&#x2F;d&#x2F;14RsAm8s5JtsH2ots79c0vhezcUdMlqA6iFVO_kCrtdQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;spreadsheets&#x2F;d&#x2F;14RsAm8s5JtsH2ots79c0...</a>
