API Connector is a Google Sheets add-on that extracts data from APIs directly into Google Sheets. No coding required! Just enter the request URL and API key to connect and view API responses in a spreadsheet.

This is super cool and useful @a_kravitz, well done! I just tried it out with the Bitmex public API and it worked perfectly.
I built a custom Excel Add-in to do something similar a few years ago and it was such a headache. I think this is such a common problem and as another commenter said, an invaluable addition to the nocode toolset.
I was also looking for how to do a query based on cell contents and saw your reply linking to a page from your docs. I think you should definitely put that in your FAQ because that opens up the universe of things you can build without code even more.
All the best for your launch!
@alxcnwy Wow, I never knew there was an Excel Add-in for this function. Do you have a link? And thank you for the suggestion to improve the FAQ.

@a_kravitz the Excel add-in I wrote was custom to pull data from a specific financial data API back when I was working as a quant in asset management. I'm not sure if there's a generic API Connector style add-in for Excel (but if there isn't, there should be!). I used a a great free framework called Excel-DNA to create my add-in using C# and it was surprisingly easy :) https://excel-dna.net/
