The Problem

Tournament directors manually record weigh-ins on paper, calculate standings after the event, and cannot display live results to spectators.

The Solution

SheetAPI converts your weigh-in sheet into an API. Log catches in real-time, calculate standings by species and weight, and display live leaderboards.

1

Set Up Your Google Sheet

Create a spreadsheet with columns like: Angler ID, Team, Species, Weight (lbs), Length (in), Time, Day, Points

2

Connect to SheetAPI.pro

Sign up (takes 10 seconds), authorize Google, and paste your sheet URL. Done.

3

Start Using Your API

Get instant REST API endpoints to create, read, update, and delete your fishing tournament weigh-in & results data.
