Turn Google Sheets into dynamic HTML
Use a Google Sheet as the content source for your HTML website. Connect your sheet, create a SheetRocket API, and render your data directly into your HTML with one lightweight JavaScript library.
Your Google Sheet can power your website
You don't need a CMS or database just to display a list of products, team members, jobs, properties, events, or other structured content. With SheetRocket, your Google Sheet becomes a simple content source for your website.
Update the spreadsheet and your website can display the latest data automatically.
Google Sheets
Your content, edited in a spreadsheet
SheetRocket API
A public endpoint for your rows
Your HTML website
Your markup, your CSS
The HTML and CSS stay completely under your control.
Add Google Sheets data to any HTML page
Add a data-sheetrocket-api attribute, define the HTML template you want to repeat, and include the SheetRocket JavaScript library.
<div data-sheetrocket-api="https://sheetrocket.com/api/v1/your-api/products">
<template data-template>
<article>
<img src="{{ image }}" alt="{{ name }}">
<h2>{{ name }}</h2>
<p>{{ description }}</p>
<strong>${{ price }}</strong>
</article>
</template>
</div>
<script src="https://sheetrocket.com/templates.js"></script>SheetRocket fetches your data and repeats the template for every row returned by your API.
You write the HTML. You write the CSS. SheetRocket handles the data.
No framework required
You don't need to install anything. No:
Just HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and your Google Sheet.
That makes SheetRocket useful for static websites, landing pages, documentation sites, GitHub Pages projects, and other websites where you don't want a full application stack just to display dynamic data.
Create your first Google Sheets APIUse Google Sheets as a CMS for your static website
A static website is fast and simple, but managing frequently changing content can be inconvenient.
Instead of editing HTML every time your content changes, keep the content in Google Sheets. Your HTML controls the design while SheetRocket supplies the data.

| Cake | 15 | cake.jpg |
| Name | Role | Photo |

| Modern Apartment | $120,000 | Accra |
| Beach House | $250,000 | Cape Coast |
Change the spreadsheet and your website displays the updated information without manually editing every HTML page.
Your HTML. Your design. Your data.
SheetRocket doesn't force you into a particular website design.
<div data-sheetrocket-api="YOUR_API_URL">
<template data-template>
<article class="product-card">
<h2>{{ name }}</h2>
<p>{{ description }}</p>
<span>{{ price }}</span>
</article>
</template>
</div>.product-card {
padding: 24px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 12px;
}SheetRocket simply connects the two, so you can build completely custom interfaces instead of being locked into a predefined widget design.
Built for static websites
SheetRocket works particularly well when your website is already built with HTML or a static-site platform.
GitHub Pages
Add dynamic content to a static GitHub Pages website without adding a traditional backend.
Webflow
Use Google Sheets as a lightweight content source for custom HTML sections.
Framer
Display spreadsheet-powered data inside custom code components or embeds.
Carrd
Add dynamic lists, products, or other structured content to simple landing pages.
Squarespace
Use custom code to display SheetRocket-powered content.
Plain HTML
Upload an .html file and add the SheetRocket script. No framework required.
Add loading, empty, and error states
You can also provide simple states for your visitors.
<div data-loading> Loading products... </div>
<div data-empty> No products found. </div>
<div data-error> Unable to load products. </div>
This lets you create a polished experience without writing the data-fetching logic yourself.
One sheet. Multiple ways to publish.
SheetRocket isn't limited to HTML. The same Google Sheet can power different outputs depending on what you're building.
| Output | Best for |
|---|---|
| HTML + JavaScript | Developers and static websites |
| REST API | Applications and developers |
| Embeddable widgets | Webflow, WordPress, Framer and other websites |
| Catalogue sites | Businesses that want a complete website |
Connect your sheet once and choose how you want to use the data.
How it works
From Google Sheet to website in minutes
Connect your Google Sheet
Sign in with Google and connect your spreadsheet. Your data stays in Google Drive.
Create an API
SheetRocket gives your spreadsheet a production-ready API endpoint. No Google Cloud project required.
Add your HTML
Copy your API URL into a data-sheetrocket-api attribute and create the HTML template you want to use.
Add the script
Add the SheetRocket JavaScript library to your page.
<script src="https://sheetrocket.com/templates.js"></script>
Publish
Your static website now displays live data from your Google Sheet. Update your spreadsheet whenever you need to change the content.
Why use Google Sheets as a CMS?
For many small websites, a full CMS can be unnecessary. Google Sheets is already familiar, collaborative, and easy to edit.
- A familiar spreadsheet interface
- Multiple editors through Google Sheets
- Structured data
- A production API
- HTML rendering
- No database administration
- No custom admin dashboard
- No CMS installation
Your clients can edit their content in a spreadsheet while you keep complete control over the website's HTML and CSS.
Built for developers who want less infrastructure
Sometimes you don't need another application. You just need: Data → API → HTML.
SheetRocket handles the infrastructure between your Google Sheet and your website. You don't have to build:
- Google Sheets authentication
- OAuth token management
- API endpoints
- Rate limiting
- Spreadsheet parsing
- Data fetching logic
You can focus on the website itself.
Google Sheets API without the Google Cloud setup
Using the Google Sheets API directly can require setting up Google Cloud, authentication, credentials, and token management.
SheetRocket provides a simpler layer on top. Connect your sheet once and get an API designed to be consumed by your website or application.
Your Google credentials stay on the server. Your public website only receives the data exposed by your SheetRocket API.
What can you build?
Use Google Sheets to power almost any structured content on a website.
Product catalogues
Display products, prices, images, descriptions, categories, and links.
Restaurant menus
Keep menu items and prices in a spreadsheet and display them on your website.
Job boards
Publish job listings from a spreadsheet.
Team directories
Create employee, member, or speaker directories.
Event listings
Display upcoming events, dates, locations, and registration links.
Real estate listings
Manage properties in Google Sheets and display them as custom HTML cards.
Course directories
Publish courses, instructors, prices, and descriptions.
Affiliate websites
Manage products and affiliate links from a spreadsheet.
FAQs
Keep questions and answers in a spreadsheet and render them on your website.
Any structured content
If your content fits naturally into rows and columns, Google Sheets can be the source.

Your spreadsheet is your content source
You don't need to move your data into another CMS just to put it on your website. Keep using the spreadsheet you already have. SheetRocket turns it into something your website can consume.
Google Sheets → SheetRocket → HTML
Simple enough for a static website. Powerful enough for production projects.
