Download unpublished Google spreadsheet as CSV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

Now I can answer questions, so I will leave it answered for good (pasting from my previous comment).

My problem was that I was not storing the cookie correctly. At the time, I was using a Python program to try to download this. This fixed the problem I was reporting:

# Cookie management 
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(CookieJar())) 
csv_data =  csv.reader(opener.open(url))
