Accessing a (new-style, public) Google sheet as JSON

Question

How can I access the contents of a (new-style) Google sheet a JSON? My aim is to access the values from JavaScript, so I need to be able to download the JSON via HTTP.

A faster solution here is to use this https://gist.github.com/ronaldsmartin/47f5239ab1834c47088e to wrap around your existing spreadsheet.

You first need to change your sheet access to Anyone with link can View

Add the id and sheet html param to the URL below.

https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzGvKKUIaqsMuCj7-A2YRhR-f7GZjl4kSxSN1YyLkS01_CfiyE/exec

Eg: your id is your sheet id which is

1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI

and your sheet which is

Sheet2

In your case you can actually see your data here as json at

https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzGvKKUIaqsMuCj7-A2YRhR-f7GZjl4kSxSN1YyLkS01_CfiyE/exec?id=1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI&sheet=Sheet2

To be safe, you should deploy the code sheetAsJson.gs in the github gist above as your own in your Google Drive.
