Apipheny

Apipheny is a powerful, no‑code add-on for Google Sheets that bridges the gap between APIs and spreadsheet reporting. In today’s data‐driven world, many professionals need to pull information from online APIs into one unified platform for analysis. Instead of writing code in Python, JavaScript, or another language, Apipheny allows you to import data directly into your Google Sheets with just a few clicks. You can also export data from your sheets to APIs—all without any programming knowledge.

The core benefit of Apipheny is its simplicity. Once installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace, you can open the add‑on in Google Sheets and enter your API details. You simply paste the API URL and fill in required fields such as headers, parameters, and authentication tokens (API keys, tokens, or OAuth credentials). Then, clicking “Run” pulls the data into your sheet—no coding required.

Automation is another big plus. Instead of manually refreshing your data, you can schedule API requests to run automatically at intervals that suit your needs: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. This keeps your dashboards and reports up‑to‑date without any extra effort.

Apipheny supports a range of API request methods. You can use GET to retrieve data, POST to add new data, PUT and PATCH to update records, and DELETE to remove data. Such flexibility lets you perform almost every operation directly from your spreadsheet. In addition, many APIs return data in pages rather than the full dataset in one go. Apipheny handles these pagination methods (like Cursor, Next Page, Page Number, or Offset Limit) automatically, ensuring you get complete datasets without dealing with extra programming.

A dynamic feature of Apipheny is its ability to use cell references from your Google Sheets in API queries. This means you can update the query parameters on the fly by simply changing a cell’s value. It proves especially useful for filtering or customizing requests dynamically.

For those who handle repeated tasks, Apipheny lets you save frequently used API queries. You can easily reuse or share these saved configurations between different spreadsheets or team members. The add‑on even includes a built‑in response viewer that lets you preview the API response before importing the data. Advanced users can take advantage of the custom formula =APIPHENY() to call APIs directly from a cell and work with data interactively.

Apipheny is versatile across many industries. Marketers use it to pull data from platforms such as Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, and Twitter to monitor campaign performance. Financial analysts integrate APIs like Alpha Vantage or Yahoo Finance to track stock market trends in real time. E‑commerce managers sync order data and customer analytics from platforms like Shopify, e‑Bay, PayPal, or Stripe. Project managers can connect with tools like Trello or Jira to automatically update timelines and team productivity reports.

In summary, Apipheny makes API integration accessible, efficient, and secure. It streamlines data import, handles large datasets with pagination, and automates refreshes—all within Google Sheets. If you’re looking to boost productivity and reduce manual tasks, Apipheny offers an accessible solution to bring real‑time, multi‑source data directly into your spreadsheets.
