Google Apps Script + basic knowledge of [[JavaScript]] feels like a superpower. You can easily and for free create custom web apps that you can then use to do all sorts of things. It sounds complicated, but it's really not bad & once you get over that hump it's a **very handy tool for your toolbelt**. You can also just set scripts to automatically trigger every so often, or on specific events (e.g. [[spreadsheet]] opened)
For my [[PDW|Data Journal]] I use it to:
- Automatically create new rows for each day, week, month, & year
- POST requests to write new rows to a dataset
- GET requests to return today's data from every dataset
- GET backups of the data
For [[Aaron's Puzzles]] I use it to:
- GET high scores for a given game
- GET backups of the data
- POST new scores
