No project description provided

Description

This library lets you export 2D arrays of data into your Google Spreadsheet.

The following code snippet will export "Name" and "David" into your Google Spreadsheet, assuming you are all set up on the Google Cloud side.

If this is not the case, continue to the section 'Complete Guide'

Quickstart:

Install the library by running pip install google-spreadsheets-exporter

Include the following code snippet for desired functionality

  from pathlib import Path
  from google_spreadsheets_exporter.exporter import Exporter
    
  BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve() # adjust path to your credentials file filder as needed
  data = [["Name"],["David"]]
    
  exp = Exporter("spreadsheet-id", "sheet-name", data, credentials_file_full_path=os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "creds.json"))
  exp.export()

Complete Guide

• Step 1: Set up a Google Sheets API Project

  • Go to the Google Developers Console (https://console.developers.google.com/) and create a new project.
    • A user for this project has to be created. Note its email.
  • Enable the Google Sheets API for your project.
  • Create credentials for your project to access the API. For this purpose, you'll need a service account key, which is a JSON file containing authentication information.
  • The credentials JSON file should be downloaded and included in your project.

• Step 2:

  • Create a Google sheet from your account
  • Note down Spreadsheet ID
    • eg https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/spreadsheetId-sdvs-dsv/edit#gid=0/
  • Share the Spreadsheet with the email of your newly created Google project user.

• Step 3: Include this code snippet in you project

  • Install the library by running pip install google-spreadsheets-exporter

    Include the following code snippet for desired functionality

    from pathlib import Path
    from google_spreadsheets_exporter.exporter import Exporter
    
    BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve() # adjust path to your credentials file filder as needed
    data = [["Name"],["David"]]
    
    exp = Exporter("spreadsheet-id", "sheet-name", data, credentials_file_full_path=os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "creds.json"))
    exp.export()
    
    

  where spreadsheet-id and sheet-name has been extracted from Spreadsheet url, data is 2D python array and credentials_file_full_path is full path to your credentials file.

Happy exporting.
