So I'm able to use the googlesheets4 package in R to read a google sheet, but I'm unable to use pandas.read_csv(url) to read a google sheet. Using read_csv returns HTML(which seems to be because it's redirecting to an authorization page), when I set the google sheet to public, read_csv works.
This is for work, and the sheets are set to anyone in organization and view with link.
Anyone able to help?
My thought is that if a package in R can do it, that there must be a way in Python as well.
I am trying to create a google cloud function that is called when a user clicks a button in google sheets. This function goes through the data and updates another sheet. I have been using pygsheets to do this but I would like to use google cloud functions so that anyone can update the sheet without emailing me to open a terminal and run the script.
My initial error message says that when i run pygsheets.authorize() that this method is trying to write in a read only file system. I have tried to make my own custom credentials but have gotten nowhere with them. I have linked the conversation I had with the maintainer of the pygsheet project.
I am self taught and thus would happily take any advice on how to resolve this issue. I would like to keep using pygsheets if possible as I have not seen any python google sheets tools on par with it. Please help this issue has stumped me for a couple of weeks.
I am working with the Google Sheets API in Python but am having trouble finding out how to save a newly created Spreadsheet to a specific folder. As of now all it does is populate my drive without the ability to indicate an end location. Any idea how to do this in Python?
I have found help with other languages but the python documentation is much different. Any insight would be great...
I have a python program which outputs JSON files. I want to get the JSON files into google sheets.
I looked for a way to upload JSON files directly to google sheets, and couldn't find a way.
This prompted me to look for a way to store my JSON files online, so google sheets could use an API to call the JSON data.
I have tried using Google Cloud Platform, but I could not find a way to call the JSON data from Google Cloud Platform to google sheets. I looked into a few other web based services that offer storage and api services at low-no cost, but I could not find any. I am fairly proficient Python, but that's the extent of my programming knowledge.
At this point, I am at a loss as far as a method of getting my JSON data into a google spreadsheet. Any and all advice/suggestions are welcome and appreciated, and I am glad to answer any questions.
I would use this https://pypi.org/project/tablib/0.9.3/
to convert if from JSON to xls. Then you can open it up directly in google sheets.
Edit: Found a video which shows how to write Dictionary structured data to CSV.

I think you're looking for something like smtplib. This will allow you to send emails and attachments from python.
