# Getting Started with Sheetful

Welcome to the quick start guide. Here you will learn how to set up your account and start building APIs from your spreadsheets in a few minutes.

## 1. Create your account

To get started, you need to create an account on the platform. Sheetful uses your Google account to easily access your spreadsheets.

💡 **Tip:** We recommend using the same Google account where your spreadsheets are hosted.

## 2. Connect to Google

After logging in, you will need to authorize Sheetful to access your Google Drive. This is required so we can:

- List your available spreadsheets.
- Read data to generate the API (GET).
- Write new data when you use the API (POST/PUT).

**Privacy Note:** We do not store your data. It is transmitted directly from the Google API to your endpoint.

## 3. Your Dashboard

On your dashboard, you will see a list of all your active projects. Each project corresponds to a connected spreadsheet.

Click on **"New Project"** to connect a new spreadsheet and generate a new API.
