On: Show HN: Query Your Sheets with SheetSQL

[nathanwallace]

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

Oh wow, I did not know about this, thanks for adding. Curious, do you handle live updates of the data upstream, it would refetch the data each time?

Steampipe does live queries against the API endpoint and stores results in an in-memory cache. You can modify the cache expiration to adjust that behavior across queries [1]. If you want to do change data capture to act on results then check out the query trigger [2] in our Flowpipe open source project [3].
