Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is backed onto a spreadsheet effectively. Showing it is a good idea for the front page.

But I don't think showing the spreadsheet in the API docs is so useful; the idea is to present a clean API to the users, and they don't even need to know that the data was originally from a spreadsheet.

+1 on showing the spreadsheet. It doesn't have to be on the docs, can be on the website. I'd put front and center, if you have this spreadsheet, it creates this API. You can even look into giving access to the sample spreadsheet for testing directly from the web pages.
