Download unpublished Google spreadsheet as CSV

Question

I have a Google spreadsheet that has not been made public, but just available to anyone that has the access link. Though I can access the data in CSV format from my browser

Answer 1

I'm able to get a wget-able URL from public spreadsheet URLs that look like this:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/LONG_ID_STRING/edit?usp=sharing

by changing them to look like this:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/LONG_ID_STRING/export?format=csv

so that my wget command would look like:

$ wget "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/LONG_ID_STRING/export?format=csv"

Make sure you share the spreadsheet first with the blue "Share" button in the top right, then "Get Sharable Link".
