<h2>Linking the API using importXML</h2>
With the importXML function, Google Sheets gives you the option of importing external XML content into your Sheets document. Since the SISTRIX API also delivers the data in XML format, it is easy to link both systems. To use this function, simply type into a cell beginning with an equals sign and add two data points:
=importXML("URL"; "XPath-Request")
In the URL field, you must enter the exact URL of the SISTRIX API including your API key and all parameters.

In order to retrieve the domain overview for the domain sistrix.de, for example, enter this URL:
https://api.sistrix.com/domain.overview?api_key=YOURAPIKEY&amp;domain=sistrix.de
The second field of the function describes the exact data from the XML response that should be copied into your Google spreadsheet. This description is given as an XPath definition.

XPath may look a bit cryptic at first, but you will pick it up very quickly and the answers to the SISTRIX API only contain simple XML. With an XPath tester like the one from Codebeautify.org, you can achieve results quickly. On that page, you can load the XML of the API with the button “Load URL” and test possible XPath variations at the bottom.

You will then see the result on the right hand side. In the above example, you get the domain overview of the page with this expression:
//@value
Put together, you can enter this function into the spreadsheet cell:
=importXML("https://api.sistrix.com/domain.overview?api_key=YOURAPIKEY&amp;domain=sistrix.de"; "//@value")
After entering the function, Google will execute the API request for you and insert the current data from the SISTRIX API into your Google spreadsheet. All other API methods can be incorporated analogously to this process.
