Google Sheets backend for a Lovable app

Lovable writes the front end. This gives it a data source that a non-developer can edit.

Steps

  1. Once SheetLatch opens, make a key with the free tool, or in the dashboard for a private sheet.
  2. Store the key as a secret in your project, not in the prompt or in client code.
  3. Paste the prompt below and fill in the sheet id and tab.

Prompt

Replace the hard-coded product data with rows from this JSON API.

GET https://sheetlatch-api.quietlathe.com/v1/SHEET_ID/Products?limit=20
Header: x-api-key, read from an environment variable named SHEET_API_KEY on the server.

Each row is an object keyed by the column names in row 1. Numbers and booleans are typed.
Call the API from a server route, never from browser code. Show loading and error states.

Builders change how secrets and server code work. If yours cannot keep a secret, use a free public key for public data only, since anyone can read what the browser can read.

Early access. SheetLatch opens soon. Join the early-access list and we will email you once when it does. Planned free plan: 1,000 requests a month. SheetLatch is not affiliated with Google.
