Which plugin is right for me? Compare easyCSV, Runtime DataTable and GSheets Operator.


GSheets Operator or “GSO” is a plugin that will allow you to interface with the Google Sheets API via REST the same way you would send cURL commands but wrapped in a simple Blueprint or C++ Interface.


Create new sheets, rename existing ones, query specific cell contents, format cells, download and upload entire sheets to public or private spreadsheets. Convert between CSV and JSON and back again. Write with a light touch to specific cells or ranges. Duplicate sheets you need more of or delete sheets you no longer need. 


Display your spreadsheet to your players and end users with an easy-to-use spreadsheet widget. Build and edit your own spreadsheets in-game and put them on Google Sheets.


All of this and more is possible with GSheets Operator.
