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.

  1. Google Sheets

    Your content, edited in a spreadsheet

  2. SheetRocket API

    A public endpoint for your rows

  3. 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:

ReactNext.jsVuenpmWebpackViteBuild pipelineBackend server

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 API

Use 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.

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.

You control the markup
<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>
And you control the CSS
.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.

Loading
<div data-loading>
  Loading products...
</div>
Empty
<div data-empty>
  No products found.
</div>
Error
<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.

Connect your sheet once and choose how you want to use the data.

How it works

From Google Sheet to website in minutes

1

Connect your Google Sheet

Sign in with Google and connect your spreadsheet. Your data stays in Google Drive.

2

Create an API

SheetRocket gives your spreadsheet a production-ready API endpoint. No Google Cloud project required.

3

Add your HTML

Copy your API URL into a data-sheetrocket-api attribute and create the HTML template you want to use.

4

Add the script

Add the SheetRocket JavaScript library to your page.

<script src="https://sheetrocket.com/templates.js"></script>
5

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.

Your spreadsheet is your content source

Google Sheets → SheetRocket → HTML

Simple enough for a static website. Powerful enough for production projects.
