Grist is a collaborative spreadsheet and relational database platform that combines the flexibility of spreadsheets with the power of a structured database. It provides a REST API for reading and writing table records, managing organizations, workspaces, and documents, executing SQL queries against document data, and configuring outgoing webhooks triggered by data changes. Grist is available as a cloud-hosted SaaS at getgrist.com and as an open-source self-hosted deployment via the Apache-licensed grist-core repository maintained by Grist Labs.
