GKit SheetsAPI vs Sheetsu — the modern, free alternative
Comparing GKit SheetsAPI and Sheetsu for Google Sheets REST APIs. GKit is free in beta, open source, edge-hosted, and part of a unified Google toolkit.
Looking for a Sheetsu replacement?
Sheetsu was one of the original "Google Sheet as an API" services — but it shut down on April 1, 2024 and is no longer available. If you relied on Sheetsu, you need a new home for those endpoints. GKit SheetsAPI is a modern, free, open-source replacement.

Moving off Sheetsu
Keep your spreadsheet exactly as it is. Connect it to GKit, point your requests at the GKit endpoint, and authenticate with Google. See the REST API reference.
