Creating empty spreadsheets in Google Drive using Drive API

Question

I want to create an empty Google Sheet (created only with metadata) in Google Drive. When I referred to the Google SpreadSheet API documentation, it says to use the Document

Answer 1

The proposed methods did not work for me, but the following code works:

# requires: uid='example@gmail.com', pass1='password', 
# name_spr='name_of_spreadsheet'

import gdata.docs.client

docs_client = gdata.docs.client.DocsClient()
docs_client.ClientLogin(uid, pass1, 'any')
document = gdata.docs.data.Resource(type='spreadsheet', title=name_spr)
resource = docs_client.CreateResource(document)
full_id = resource.resource_id.text # returned by gdata
gs_id = full_id[len('spreadsheet:'):]
