How to use the Excel Online API using Python.

code How to use the Excel Online API using Python

There are two ways to do this:

  1. Directly use the Excel Online API. The downside of this being it takes a significant amount of time to learn and setup all the configuration.
  2. Just use sheet2api. This takes care of all that configuration for you, all you need is the URL to your Excel Online spreadsheet to get started.

Easy setup

  1. 1 Install the Python package with pip. 
    pip install sheet2api
  2. 2 Run Excel Online API request with Python. 
    from sheet2api import Sheet2APIClient

client = Sheet2APIClient(api_url='https://sheet2api.com/v1/FgI6zV8qT121/characters/')
client.get_rows()
  3. 3 Create and use your own sheet2api API.
