python-google-spreadsheet 1.0.2

A simple Python wrapper for the Google Spreadsheets API

A simple Python wrapper for the Google Spreadsheeta API. [](http://travis-ci.org/yoavaviram/python-google-spreadsheet)

Features

• An object oriented interface for Worksheets

• Supports List Feed view of spreadsheet rows, represented as dictionaries

• Compatible with Google App Engine

Requirements

Before you get started, make sure you have:

• Installed [Gdata](http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/) (pip install gdata)

Usage

List Spreadsheets and Worksheets:

>>> from google_spreadsheet.api import SpreadsheetAPI
>>> api = SpreadsheetAPI(GOOGLE_SPREADSHEET_USER, GOOGLE_SPREADSHEET_PASSWORD, GOOGLE_SPREADSHEET_SOURCE)
>>> spreadsheets = api.list_spreadsheets()
>>> spreadsheets
[('MyFirstSpreadsheet', 'tkZQWzwHEjKTWFFCAgw'), ('MySecondSpreadsheet', 't5I-ZPGdXjTrjMefHcg'), ('MyThirdSpreadsheet', 't0heCWhzCmm9Y-GTTM_Q')]
>>> worksheets = api.list_worksheets(spreadsheets[0][1])
>>> worksheets
[('MyFirstWorksheet', 'od7'), ('MySecondWorksheet', 'od6'), ('MyThirdWorksheet', 'od4')]

Please note that in order to work with a Google Spreadsheet it must be accessible to the user who’s login credentials are provided. The GOOGLE_SPREADSHEET_SOURCE argument is used by Google to identify your application and track API calls.

Working with a Worksheet:

>>> sheet = spreadsheet.get_worksheet('tkZQWzwHEjKTWFFCAgw', 'od7')
>>> rows = sheet.get_rows()
>>> len(rows)
18
>>> row_to_update = rows[0]
>>> row_to_update['name'] = 'New Name'
>>> sheet.update_row(0, row_to_update)
{'name': 'New Name'...}
>>> row_to_insert = rows[0]
>>> row_to_insert['name'] = 'Another Name'
>>> sheet.insert_row(row_to_insert)
{'name': 'Another Name'...}
>>> sheet.delete_row(18)
>>> sheet.delete_all_rows()

That’s it.

For more information about these calls, please consult the [Google Spreadsheets API Developer Guide](https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/).
