Because the JSON that Google provides from Google Spreadsheets is utterly useless, I built this during a hackathon.
- First of all, create a Google Spreadsheet add your headers to row 1 and freeze it.
- Add your data in the rows below.
- Then File > Publish to web
- Copy the KEY from the Google Docs URL
- Visit the URL at which doxy is running:
mydoxy.herokuapp.comthen add the KEY to the end of ithttp://mydoxy.herokuapp.com/KEY/. - Enjoy sexy JSON.

]First, you'll need to clone the repo.
$ git clone git@github.com:r4vi/doxy.git
$ cd doxy
Second, let's download pip, virtualenv, foreman, and the heroku
Ruby gem.
$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
$ sudo gem install foreman heroku
Now, you can setup an isolated environment with virtualenv.
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate
To use gevent, we'll need to install libevent for the
gevent production server. If you're operating on a Linux OS, you can
apt-get install libevent-dev. If you're using Mac OS X, consider
installing the homebrew package
manager, and run the following command:
$ brew install libevent
If you're using Mac OS X, you can also install libevent through a DMG
available on Rudix.
If you'd rather use gunicorn without gevent, you just need to edit
the Procfile and requirements.txt.
First, edit the Procfile to look the following:
web: gunicorn -w 4 -b "0.0.0.0:$PORT" app:app
Second, remove gevent from the requirements.txt file.
Then, let's get the requirements installed in your isolated test environment.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Now, you can run the application locally.
$ foreman start
You can also specify what port you'd prefer to use.
$ foreman start -p 5555
If you haven't signed up for Heroku, go
ahead and do that. You should then be able to add your SSH key to
Heroku, and also
heroku login from the commandline.
Now, to upload your application, you'll first need to do the
following -- and obviously change app_name to the name of your
application:
$ heroku create app_name -s cedar
And, then you can push your application up to Heroku.
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku scale web=1
Finally, we can make sure the application is up and running.
$ heroku ps
Now, we can view the application in our web browser.
$ heroku open
And, to deactivate virtualenv (once you've finished coding), you
simply run the following command:
$ deactivate
If you haven't worked with virtualenv before, you'll need to
reactivate the environment everytime you close or reload your terminal.
$ source env/bin/activate
If you don't reactivate the environment, then you'll probably receive a screen full of errors when trying to run the application locally.
In the course of creating your application, you may find yourself
installing various Python modules with pip -- in which case you'll
need to update the requirements.txt file. One way that this can be
done is with pip freeze.
$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
If your account is verified -- and your credit card is on file -- you can also easily add a custom domain to your application.
$ heroku addons:add custom_domains
$ heroku domains:add www.mydomainname.com
You can add a naked domain name, too.
$ heroku domains:add mydomainname.com
Lastly, add the following A records to your DNS management tool.
75.101.163.44
75.101.145.87
174.129.212.2
