Create spreadsheets & documents with Go

Create a shareable spreadsheet from Go using only net/http and encoding/json — no third-party SDK. Marshal your rows, POST them, and read the URL from the response. Ideal for Go services, CLIs, and serverless functions that need to emit reports or exports.

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/json"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	body, _ := json.Marshal(map[string]any{
		"title": "Q3 Revenue",
		"sheets": []map[string]any{{
			"rows": [][]any{
				{"Month", "Revenue", "Growth"},
				{"July", 48200, "+12%"},
			},
		}},
	})

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST",
		"https://openofficeai.com/api/v1/sheets", bytes.NewBuffer(body))
	req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY")
	req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

	resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	var out map[string]any
	json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&out)
	println(out["url"].(string))
}

3. 3Set the Authorization and Content-Type headers on the request.
4. 4Decode the JSON response and use out["url"].

Why use OpenOfficeAI with Go

• Standard library only — no external dependency to vendor.
• Great for Go microservices, CLIs, and Lambda functions.
• Compile-time safety around your data, JSON simplicity for the API.
