POST - Add Rows

Created by Danny Chu, Modified on Tue, 26 Jul, 2022 at 2:39 PM by Danny Chu

To write data, your can send a POST request sending the JSON data to the same URL as your GET API. This will insert a new line on your sheet with the information you've sent.

You can also send an array of objects to post add multiple rows at once:

-----------

Shell

# Add one line to the sheet
curl 'https://sheet.best/api/sheets/cf969697-682a-40e3-bad4-d54803eeeacf' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"Id":10, "Name": "Jack Doe", "Age": 97, "Created at": "2019-08-19T13:32:11.744Z"}'

# Add two lines to the sheet
curl 'https://sheet.best/api/sheets/cf969697-682a-40e3-bad4-d54803eeeacf' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '[{"Id":10, "Name": "Jack Doe", "Age": 97, "Created at": "2019-08-19T13:32:11.744Z"}, {"Id":11, "Name": "John Doe", "Age": 44, "Created at": "2019-08-19T13:32:11.744Z"}]'

Python

from datetime import datetime

# Add one line to the sheet
requests.post(
    "https://sheet.best/api/sheets/cf969697-682a-40e3-bad4-d54803eeeacf",
    json={
        'Id': '10',
        'Name': 'Jack Doe',
        'Age': '97',
        'Created at': datetime.now().isoformat(),
    },
)

# Add two lines to the sheet
requests.post(
    "https://sheet.best/api/sheets/cf969697-682a-40e3-bad4-d54803eeeacf",
    json=[{
        'Id': '10',
        'Name': 'Jack Doe',
        'Age': '97',
        'Created at': datetime.now().isoformat(),
    }, {
        'Id': '11',
        'Name': 'John Doe',
        'Age': '44',
        'Created at': datetime.now().isoformat(),
    }],
)

Javascript

const data = {

  body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
  .then((r) => r.json())
  .then((data) => {
    // The response comes here
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // Errors are reported there
    console.log(error);
