How it works
Google Sheets supports IMPORTDATA for direct CSV/JSON pulls, Apps Script for custom logic, and Zapier for no-code integration. Most lightweight teams use IMPORTDATA from our public CSV endpoints; technically-adept teams script via Apps Script for richer workflows.
Live workflows
Live data pull via Apps Script
A Google Apps Script triggers daily, pulls /api/v1 signal data, and writes it to a designated sheet, auto-refreshed without manual import.
IMPORTDATA from CSV endpoint
Our /dataset.json and /dataset.csv endpoints work with Google Sheets' IMPORTDATA function, a one-cell formula pulls live data into any sheet without scripting.
Zapier-mediated batch updates
Zapier writes new signal events to a Google Sheets row, building an append-only log of acceleration events for downstream analysis or charting.
What's not yet available
No first-party Google Workspace Add-on yet. Apps Script and IMPORTDATA cover all common workflows without an add-on.
