googleapiutils2 0.5.3

Wrapper for Google's Python API.

googleapiutils2

Utilities for Google's v2 Python API. Currently supports sections of the following resources:

• Drive: FilesResource, ...
• Sheets: SpreadsheetsResource, ...
• Geocoding

Quickstart

This project requires Python ^3.10 to run.

Several dependencies are needed, namely the aforesaid Google Python API, but also Google's oauth library, and requests. Pre-bundled for ease of use are the fairly monolithic google-api-stubs, which greatly improves the usage experience.

via poetry

Install poetry, then run

poetry install

And you're done.

Drive

Sheets

Simple example:

...
creds = get_oauth2_creds(client_config=config_path)
sheets = Sheets(creds=creds)

sheet_id = "id"
Sheet1 = SheetsValueRange(sheets, sheet_id, sheet_name="Sheet1")

rows = [
    {
        "Heyy": "99",
    }
]
Sheet1[2:3, ...].update(rows)

What the above does is: - Get the OAuth2 credentials from the client_config.json file - create a Sheets object thereupon. - Create a SheetsValueRange object, which is a wrapper around the spreadsheets.values API. - Update the range Sheet1!A2:B3 with the given rows.

Note the slicing syntax, which will feel quite familiar for any Python programmer.

SheetSlice

A SheetsValueRange object can be sliced in a similar manner to that of a Numpy array. The syntax is as follows:

slc = Sheet[rows, cols]

Wherein rows and cols are either integers, slices of integers (stride is not supported), strings (in A1 notation), or ellipses (...).

ix = SheetSlice["Sheet1", 1:3, 2:4] #  "Sheet1!B2:D4"
ix = SheetSlice["Sheet1", "A1:B2"]  #  "Sheet1!A1:B2"
ix = SheetSlice[1:3, 2:4]           #  "Sheet1!B2:D4"
ix = SheetSlice["A1:B2"]            #  "Sheet1!A1:B2"
ix = SheetSlice[..., 1:3]           #  "Sheet1!A1:Z3"

SheetSlice object can also be used as a key into a SheetsValueRange object, or a dictionary (to use in updating a sheet's range, for example). Further, a SheetsValueRange object can be sliced in a similar manner to that of a SheetSlice object, and also be used as a dictionary key.
