Streamlit Connection for Google Sheets.

Project description

Streamlit GSheetsConnection

Connect to public or private Google Sheets from your Streamlit app. Powered by st.experimental_connection() and gspread.

GSheets Connection works in two modes:

  • in Read Only mode, using publicly shared Spreadsheet URLs (Read Only mode)
  • CRUD operations support mode, with Authentication using Service Account. In order to use Service Account mode you need to enable Google Drive and Google Sheets API in Google Developers Console. Follow Initial setup for CRUD mode section in order to authenticate your Streamlit app first.

Install

pip install streamlit git+https://github.com/streamlit/gsheets-connection

Minimal example: publicly shared spreadsheet (read-only)

# example/st_app.py

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_gsheets import GSheetsConnection

url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JDy9md2VZPz4JbYtRPJLs81_3jUK47nx6GYQjgU8qNY/edit?usp=sharing"

conn = st.experimental_connection("gsheets", type=GSheetsConnection)

data = conn.read(spreadsheet=url, usecols=[0, 1])
st.dataframe(data)

Service account / CRUD example

Initial setup for private spreadsheet and/or CRUD mode

  1. Setup .streamlit/secrets.toml inside your Streamlit app root directory,
    check out Secret management documentation for references.
  2. Enable API Access for a Project
    • Head to Google Developers Console and create a new project (or select the one you already have).
    • In the box labeled “Search for APIs and Services”, search for “Google Drive API” and enable it.
    • In the box labeled “Search for APIs and Services”, search for “Google Sheets API” and enable it.
  3. Using Service Account
    • Enable API Access for a Project if you haven’t done it yet.
    • Go to “APIs & Services > Credentials” and choose “Create credentials > Service account key”.
    • Fill out the form
    • Click “Create” and “Done”.
    • Press “Manage service accounts” above Service Accounts.
    • Press on ⋮ near recently created service account and select “Manage keys” and then click on “ADD KEY > Create new key”.
    • Select JSON key type and press “Create”.

You will automatically download a JSON file with credentials. It may look like this:

{
    "type": "service_account",
    "project_id": "api-project-XXX",
    "private_key_id": "2cd … ba4",
    "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nNrDyLw … jINQh/9\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
    "client_email": "473000000000-yoursisdifferent@developer.gserviceaccount.com",
    "client_id": "473 … hd.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    ...
}

Remember the path to the downloaded credentials file. Also, in the next step you’ll need the value of client_email from this file.

  • :red[Very important!] Go to your spreadsheet and share it with a client_email from the step above. Just like you do with any other Google account. If you don’t do this, you’ll get a gspread.exceptions.SpreadsheetNotFound exception when trying to access this spreadsheet from your application or a script.
  1. Inside streamlit/secrets.toml place service_account configuration from downloaded JSON file, in the following format (where gsheets is your st.connection name):
# .streamlit/secrets.toml

[connections.gsheets]
spreadsheet = "<spreadsheet-name-or-url>"
worksheet = "<worksheet-gid-or-folder-id>"  # worksheet GID is used when using Public Spreadsheet URL, when usign service_account it will be picked as folder_id
type = ""  # leave empty when using Public Spreadsheet URL, when using service_account -> type = "service_account"
project_id = ""
private_key_id = ""
private_key = ""
client_email = ""
client_id = ""
auth_uri = ""
token_uri = ""
auth_provider_x509_cert_url = ""
client_x509_cert_url = ""

Code

# example/st_app_gsheets_using_service_account.py

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_gsheets import GSheetsConnection

st.title("Read Google Sheet as DataFrame")

conn = st.experimental_connection("gsheets", type=GSheetsConnection)
df = conn.read(worksheet="Example 1")

st.dataframe(df)
# .streamlit/secrets.toml

[connections.gsheets]
spreadsheet = "<spreadsheet-name-or-url>"
worksheet = "<worksheet-gid-or-folder-id>"  # worksheet GID is used when using Public Spreadsheet URL, when usign service_account it will be picked as folder_id
type = ""  # leave empty when using Public Spreadsheet URL, when using service_account -> type = "service_account"
project_id = ""
private_key_id = ""
private_key = ""
client_email = ""
client_id = ""
auth_uri = ""
token_uri = ""
auth_provider_x509_cert_url = ""
client_x509_cert_url = ""

Q&A

  • Does this work with a public spreadsheet without the authentication details? Or only a private spreadsheet?

    GSheets Connection works in two modes:

    • in Read Only mode, using publicly shared Spreadsheet URLs (Read Only mode)
    • CRUD operations support mode, with Authentication using Service Account. In order to use Service Account mode you need to enable Google Drive and Google Sheets API in Google Developers Console. Follow Initial setup for CRUD mode section in order to authenticate your Streamlit app first.
