  • Google Sheets API v4 support.
  • Limited Google Drive API v3 support.
  • Open and create spreadsheets by title.
  • Add or remove permissions from you spreadsheets.
  • Simple calls to get a row, column or defined range of values.
  • Change the formatting properties of a cell.
  • Supports named ranges & protected ranges.
  • Queue up requests in batch mode and then process them in one go.

Updates

New version 2.0.0 released. Please see changelog to migrate from 1.x.

Small Example

First example - Share a numpy array with a friend:

import pygsheets

client = pygsheets.authorize()

# Open the spreadsheet and the first sheet.
sh = client.open('spreadsheet-title')
wks = sh.sheet1

# Update a single cell.
wks.update_value('A1', "Numbers on Stuff")

# Update the worksheet with the numpy array values. Beginning at cell 'A2'.
wks.update_values('A2', my_numpy_array.to_list())

# Share the sheet with your friend. (read access only)
sh.share('friend@gmail.com')
# sharing with write access
sh.share('friend@gmail.com', role='writer')

Second example - Store some data and change cell formatting:

# open a worksheet as in the first example.

header = wks.cell('A1')
header.value = 'Names'
header.text_format['bold'] = True # make the header bold
header.update()

# The same can be achieved in one line
wks.cell('B1').set_text_format('bold', True).value = 'heights'

# set the names
wks.update_values('A2:A5',[['name1'],['name2'],['name3'],['name4']])

# set the heights
heights = wks.range('B2:B5', returnas='range')  # get the range
heights.name = "heights"  # name the range
heights.update_values([[50],[60],[67],[66]]) # update the vales
wks.update_value('B6','=average(heights)') # set get the avg value

Overview

The Client is used to create and access spreadsheets. The property drive exposes some Google Drive API functionality and the sheet property exposes used Google Sheets API functionality.

A Google Spreadsheet is represented by the Spreadsheet class. Each spreadsheet contains one or more Worksheet. The data inside of a worksheet can be accessed as plain values or inside of a Cell object. The cell has properties and attributes to change formatting, formulas and more. To work with several cells at once a DataRange can be used.
