Create a spreadsheet with columns like: Project #, Student, Title, Category, Judge 1 Score, Judge 2 Score, Total, Award

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 science fair project judging data.
