Transform REST Endpoints into Streaming APIs! View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Full summary

Heartbeat transforms REST endpoints into streaming APIs so you don't need to poll APIs periodically. Build for the #realtimeweb.

Key Features:

  1. Convert any REST API into a streaming API with zero lines of code,
  2. Access streams via a GUI dashboard, JS or REST APIs,
  3. Optionally, store results for up to 6 hours and run advanced search queries on the stream via appbase.io's APIs.

It's free to use while in beta.

Technical notes:

  • Heartbeat uses websockets as the underlying protocol so the resulting streaming APIs work well both on browsers and on other languages.
  • Currently works with REST APIs that return JSON responses on either GET or POST requests, supports Basic Auth, custom headers.

View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files -- without needing Office installed on your computer.

Once the extension is installed, Office files that you drag into Chrome, open in Gmail, Google Drive, and more, will be opened in Docs, Sheets, and Slides for viewing and editing.

You can save each file back to its original Office format, or convert it to Docs, Sheets, or Slides to unlock more features, like inviting others to edit with you, commenting, chat, and more.

Please note that Office files cannot be edited in the classic version of Drive. The new Google Drive is gradually rolling out to all users via the Settings menu. If you don't see the option to try the new look, check back again shortly. Learn more here: https://support.google.com/drive/?p=new_drive.
