sheetsmanager 0.0.2

A Python package to load and manage Google Sheets or Excel file data.

Sheets Manager

Sheets Manager is a lightweight Python package designed for loading and managing data from Google Sheets, fetching data from all tabs within the file. This package provides a simple interface for accessing and storing tabular data in JSON format.

---

Features

• Load All Tabs: Fetch data from all tabs within a spreadsheet automatically.
• Easy to Use: Minimal setup to integrate into your projects.
• Lightweight: No unnecessary dependencies—uses only pandas and json.

Installation

You can install Sheets Manager via pip:

pip install sheetsmanager

---

Usage

Initializing the Manager

from sheetsmanager import SheetsManager

# Initialize the SheetsManager with your Google Sheet ID
sheet_id = "your_google_sheet_id"
SheetsManager.init(sheet_id)

The SheetsManager will automatically load all data from all tabs in the spreadsheet upon initialization. Note: The sheet_data and sheet_url variables are static, meaning they are shared across all instances of the SheetsManager class.

Accessing the Loaded Data

# Access the loaded data as a dictionary
print(SheetsManager.sheet_data)  # Dictionary where keys are tab names and values are the tab data

Since sheet_data is a static variable, it will store the data globally, allowing all references to SheetsManager to access the same data.

Reloading the Data

If you want to reload the data from the Google Sheet and update all stored data, you can call the reload() method:

# Reload data from the spreadsheet
SheetsManager.reload()

This will refresh the sheet_data dictionary with the latest data from all tabs. The sheet_data variable is static, so any update will affect all instances that reference it.

Getting the Sheet ID and Generating the URL

To use a Google Sheet with this package, you need the Sheet ID. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the Google Sheet

1. Go to Google Sheets and open your spreadsheet.

Step 2: Retrieve the Sheet ID from the Publish to Web Dialog

1. Click on File in the top menu.
2. Select Share > Publish to the web.
3. In the dialog that opens, you will see the Sheet ID in the generated URL. It looks like this:

   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{SHEET_ID}/pub?output=xlsx
   

4. Copy the part between /d/ and /pub—this is your Sheet ID.

Step 3: Publish the Google Sheet

1. In the same dialog, choose:
   • Entire Document: To make all tabs available.
   • Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) as the file format.
2. Click Publish and confirm your choice.

Important Warning

• Public Access: Publishing makes the spreadsheet accessible to anyone with the link.
• Read-Only: Others can download the file but cannot directly edit it.
