PasteSheet

Turn any Google Sheet into a live REST API

PasteSheet is turn any google sheet into a live rest api. <p>If your data lives in a Google Sheet, getting it into your app, website, or AI tool usually means a weekend of setup โ€” API credentials, authentication flows, backend code, and a lot of things that can go wrong before you've even started building.</p><p>PasteSheet skips all of that. Paste your Google Sheet URL and you get a live API endpoint back in under a minute. No code, no backend, no Google Cloud account. Just a URL your app can read from immediately.</p><p>It works for pretty much anyone building something on the web. If you're a developer, you get a clean JSON endpoint you can filter, sort, and paginate with simple URL parameters. Point it at Next.js, React, iOS, or anything else that reads from an API and it just works. If you're a no-code builder, paste the endpoint into Webflow, Framer, Bubble, Softr, or Zapier and your spreadsheet data shows up live on your site. No plugins, no extra connectors.</p><p>If you're building with AI, every endpoint also works as an MCP server โ€” which means Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other AI tools can query your sheet directly as a native tool. Ask your AI agent a question, it reads from your sheet, it gives you an answer. Setting that up with Google's own tools takes a full afternoon of configuration. With PasteSheet it's already there the moment you paste your URL.</p><p>A few things that make it more reliable than you'd expect from a spreadsheet-backed API. Responses are edge-cached so they're fast and don't hammer your sheet on every request. If someone on your team renames or removes a column, you get an alert before it breaks anything in your app. You can also lock your column structure entirely so the API returns an error instead of silently serving wrong data โ€” useful when other people have access to the sheet and you can't always control what they change.</p><p></p>. Best for Google Sheets API and MCP server users.

xueprompt

3,900+ AI prompts, organized and ready to copy

xueprompt is 3,900+ ai prompts, organized and ready to copy. <p>xueprompt is a free AI prompt library with more than 3,900 prompts for writing, coding, marketing, art, learning, and everyday work. It is built for people who use AI regularly but do not want to write every instruction from scratch or keep useful prompts scattered across notes and chat histories.</p><p>Users can search the library by keyword or browse prompts by category. When they find a useful prompt, they can copy it with one click and paste it into DeepSeek, Claude, ChatGPT, or another text-based AI model. The prompts are not tied to a single provider, so users can keep working with the AI tools they already prefer.</p><p>Signing in adds favorites and cross-device sync. A prompt saved on one device remains available from another, making it easier to build a personal shortlist of instructions used for recurring tasks. The library is currently free to browse, search, and copy.</p><p>xueprompt covers several common use cases. Content creators can find prompts for topic ideas, outlines, rewriting, and social posts. Developers can browse prompts for code explanation, debugging, and technical documentation. Marketers can use prompts for campaign planning, copywriting, and audience research, while students can start with study plans, concept review, and practice questions.</p><p>The goal is simple: help users find a useful starting point faster. Beginners can learn how effective prompts describe context, tasks, output formats, and constraints. Experienced users can copy a close match and adapt the subject, audience, format, or limitations to fit their own project.</p>. Best for ai and prompts users.
