Infinite LiveCode, APIs and the Google Sheets API?

[Mike Kerner]

One of the nice things about mergGoogle, by the way, over trying to
implement an API, is that mergGoogle is asynchronous, which makes it very
speedy.  For example, I have, here, several spreadsheets with multiple
sheets per spreadsheet, and thousands of cells that we update nearly
continuously.

   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
