How do I access (read, write) Google Sheets spreadsheets with Python?

Question

I am wondering if you can point me to an example of reading/writing to/from a google doc/spreadsheet using python.

I did look at google docs API here https://develo

Answer 1

Take a look at gspread port for api v4 - pygsheets. It should be very easy to use rather than the google client.

Sample example

import pygsheets

gc = pygsheets.authorize()

# Open spreadsheet and then workseet
sh = gc.open('my new ssheet')
wks = sh.sheet1

# Update a cell with value (just to let him know values is updated ;) )
wks.update_cell('A1', "Hey yank this numpy array")

# update the sheet with array
wks.update_cells('A2', my_nparray.to_list())

# share the sheet with your friend
sh.share("myFriend@gmail.com")

See the docs here.
