The Problem

Recycling centers don't track contamination rates. Tonnage reporting is manual, and high-volume contributors are unknown.

The Solution

SheetAPI recycles data into insights. Contamination is logged per load, tonnage aggregates automatically, and top contributors are recognized.

1

Set Up Your Google Sheet

Create a spreadsheet with columns like: Load #, Contributor, Material Type, Weight, Contamination, Date, Payment

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 recycling center material tracking data.

Code Examples

Here's how simple it is to work with your recycling center material tracking data:

Fetch All Records

# Using cURL curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID
// Using JavaScript (fetch) const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID', { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); // Your recycling center material tracking records

Create a New Record

# Using cURL curl -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"Load #":"VALUE1","Contributor":"VALUE2"}' \ https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID
// Using JavaScript (fetch) const newRecord = { 'Load #': 'Sample value', 'Contributor': 'Another value' }; const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(newRecord) });

Update a Record
