Google Sheet API Python

How to use the Google Sheet API using Python.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Directly use the Google Sheet 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 Google Sheet spreadsheet to get started.

Examples

Here are some ready to use Google Sheet API examples using the Python client. Simply copy them into your project and you're good to go.

Read all rows

# Returns all rows from the first Sheet.
from sheet2api import Sheet2APIClient

client = Sheet2APIClient(api_url='https://sheet2api.com/v1/FgI6zV8qT121/characters/')
client.get_rows()

Read rows which match search terms

# Returns all rows from the first Sheet, filtered by search terms.
from sheet2api import Sheet2APIClient

client = Sheet2APIClient(api_url='https://sheet2api.com/v1/FgI6zV8qT121/characters/')
client.get_rows(query={'name': 'Bugs Bunny'})

Add a new row

# Adds a new row to the Sheet.
from sheet2api import Sheet2APIClient

client = Sheet2APIClient(api_url='https://sheet2api.com/v1/FgI6zV8qT121/characters/')
client.create_row(row={'Name': 'Bugs Bunny', 'Favourite Thing': 'Carrots', 'Image': 'Bugs.png'})
