Create spreadsheets & documents with Node.js

Create a shareable spreadsheet from Node.js in one call using the built-in fetch — no SDK, no Google client library. Send your rows as JSON and get back a URL that opens in any browser. The example below works in Node 18+, serverless functions, and edge runtimes.

const res = await fetch("https://openofficeai.com/api/v1/sheets", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: "Q3 Revenue",
    sheets: [{
      name: "Revenue",
      rows: [
        ["Month", "Revenue", "Growth"],
        ["July", 48200, "+12%"],
        ["August", 61900, "+28%"],
      ],
    }],
  }),
});

const { url } = await res.json();
console.log(url); // https://openofficeai.com/s/...
