The Problem

Hackathon organizers manually collect team registrations via forms, assign judges, and tally scores in spreadsheets—prone to errors and delays.

The Solution

SheetAPI turns your hackathon sheet into an API. Teams register online, judges submit scores, and leaderboards update in real-time.

1

Set Up Your Google Sheet

Create a spreadsheet with columns like: Team ID, Team Name, Members, Project Name, Track, Repo URL, Demo Link, Score

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 hackathon team registration & judging data.

Here's how simple it is to work with your hackathon team registration & judging data:
