-
Enable APIs:
- Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Library"
- Enable "Google Sheets API" and "Google Drive API"
-
Create Service Account:
- Go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
- Click "Create Credentials" > "Service Account"
- Download the JSON key file
-
Prepare Credentials:
import base64 import json # Load your service account JSON with open('path/to/service-account.json', 'r') as f: service_account = json.load(f) # Encode for use with urarovite encoded_creds = base64.b64encode(json.dumps(service_account).encode()).decode()
Domain-wide Delegation (Enterprise)
For enterprise users who need to impersonate other users:
- Enable Domain-wide Delegation in your service account settings
- Add OAuth Scopes in Google Admin Console:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
๐ป Usage
Basic Validation
from urarovite.core.api import execute_validation, get_available_validation_criteria
# List available validators
validators = get_available_validation_criteria()
print(validators)
# [{"id": "empty_cells", "name": "Fix Empty Cells"}, ...]
# Google Sheets validation (requires authentication)
encoded_creds = "eyJ0eXBlIjogInNlcnZpY2VfYWNjb3VudCIsIC4uLn0="
result = execute_validation(
check={"id": "empty_cells", "mode": "fix"},
sheet_url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ABC123/edit",
auth_secret=encoded_creds,
subject="user@domain.com" # Optional: for domain-wide delegation
)
# Excel file validation (no authentication required)
result = execute_validation(
check={"id": "empty_cells", "mode": "fix"},
sheet_url="./data/spreadsheet.xlsx"
)
# Excel to Google Sheets conversion with validation
result = execute_validation(
check={"id": "tab_names", "mode": "fix"},
sheet_url="./data/spreadsheet.xlsx",
auth_secret=encoded_creds,
target="1hWMAXridd8Gd_ND6p8r4bGLQYZnL0b52", # Drive folder ID
target_format="sheets"
)
print(f"Fixed {result['fixes_applied']} issues")
print(f"Found {result['issues_flagged']} additional issues")
print(f"Logs: {result['automated_logs']}")
Sheet Crawling & Batch Validation
Urarovite includes powerful sheet crawling capabilities that can automatically discover and validate all sheets referenced in a metadata spreadsheet. This is perfect for processing large datasets with multiple input/output sheet pairs.
๐ Super Simple Usage
# Just provide the URL - saves fixed sheets as Google Sheets in same folder as source
./run_crawl_validation.sh "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jx5CHYvKt3y2aO-1vFKT7botQUWnvp-CcZftvFGz2pQ/edit#gid=114720924"
What this does:
- โ Crawls through your metadata sheet
- โ Finds all input/output sheet URLs automatically
- โ Runs ALL available validations on each sheet
- โ Saves fixed sheets as Google Sheets in the same folder as the source (NEW DEFAULT!)
- โ Automatically adds fixed sheet URLs back to your metadata sheet (NEW!)
- โ Provides comprehensive results and statistics
Command Line Options
# With domain-wide delegation
./run_crawl_validation.sh "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/your-sheet-id" "user@yourdomain.com"
# Flag mode only (no fixes applied)
./run_crawl_validation.sh "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/your-sheet-id" --mode flag
# Save to local Excel files instead
./run_crawl_validation.sh "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/your-sheet-id" --target local --format excel
# Save to specific Google Drive folder
./run_crawl_validation.sh "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/your-sheet-id" --target "1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J"
๐ New Defaults (Google-First)
- Target: Same folder as source (intelligent default) โ was "local"
- Format: Google Sheets โ was "excel"
Why This is Better:
- Seamless Google Workflow: Fixed sheets stay in Google Drive where you can easily access them
- Same Folder Organization: Fixed sheets are created right next to your source sheets
- No File Management: No need to upload/download Excel files
- Team Collaboration: Everyone can access the fixed sheets immediately
- Version History: Google Sheets maintains version history of fixes
- Automatic Audit Trail: Fixed sheet URLs are automatically added to your metadata sheet
๐ New Metadata Columns
After running the crawling script, your metadata sheet will automatically get new columns added:
For Google Sheets Output (Default):
input_sheet_url_fixed
: URLs to the fixed versions of input sheetsexample_output_sheet_url_fixed
: URLs to the fixed versions of output sheetsinput_fixes_applied
: Number of fixes applied to input sheetsinput_issues_found
: Number of issues found in input sheetsinput_validation_summary
: Summary of validation results for input sheetsinput_validation_errors
: Any validation errors for input sheetsoutput_fixes_applied
: Number of fixes applied to output sheetsoutput_issues_found
: Number of issues found in output sheetsoutput_validation_summary
: Summary of validation results for output sheetsoutput_validation_errors
: Any validation errors for output sheets
For Excel Output:
input_sheet_path_fixed
: Relative paths to the fixed Excel files for input sheetsexample_output_sheet_path_fixed
: Relative paths to the fixed Excel files for output sheets- Plus all the same validator output columns as above
Example Results
Before:
worker_id | input_sheet_url | example_output_sheet_url |
---|---|---|
ABC123 | https://docs.google.com/.../input123 | https://docs.google.com/.../output123 |
After (showing key columns):
worker_id | input_sheet_url_fixed | input_fixes_applied | input_issues_found | input_validation_summary | output_sheet_url_fixed | output_fixes_applied | output_issues_found |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ABC123 | https://docs.google.com/.../input123_fixed | 15 | 3 | โ 12 successful; โ 1 failed | https://docs.google.com/.../output123_fixed | 8 | 0 |
This creates a complete audit trail showing:
- ๐ Where the fixed sheets are located (direct links)
- ๐ Exactly what was fixed (number of fixes applied)
- โ ๏ธ What issues remain (issues found but not fixed)
- โ Validation success rate (how many validators succeeded)
- ๐จ Any errors encountered (validation errors for troubleshooting)

๐ฏ Perfect for Batch Processing
This crawling functionality is ideal for data cleaning tasks because:
- Batch Processing: Processes all your input/output sheet pairs at once
- Intelligent Detection: Automatically finds sheet URLs in your metadata
- Comprehensive Validation: Runs all available validators on each sheet
- Google-Native: Keeps everything in Google Drive for easy access
- Detailed Reporting: Shows exactly what was fixed and where
Just run it once and get all your sheets validated and fixed! ๐
