Simple interface for working with Google Sheets.



Features:



- Open a spreadsheet by **title**, **key** or **URL**.

- Read, write, and format cell ranges.

- Sharing and access control.

- Batching updates.



## Installation



```sh

pip install gspread

```



Requirements: Python 3.8+.



## Basic Usage



1. [Create credentials in Google API Console](http://gspread.readthedocs.org/en/latest/oauth2.html)



2. Start using gspread



```python

import gspread



gc = gspread.service_account()



# Open a sheet from a spreadsheet in one go

wks = gc.open("Where is the money Lebowski?").sheet1



# Update a range of cells using the top left corner address

wks.update('A1', [[1, 2], [3, 4]])



# Or update a single cell

wks.update('B42', "it's down there somewhere, let me take another look.")



# Format the header

wks.format('A1:B1', {'textFormat': {'bold': True}})

```



## v5.12 to v6.0 Migration Guide



### Upgrade from Python 3.7



Python 3.7 is [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/versions/). gspread v6 requires a minimum of Python 3.8.



### Change `Worksheet.update` arguments



The first two arguments (`values` & `range_name`) have swapped (to `range_name` & `values`). Either swap them (works in v6 only), or use named arguments (works in v5 & v6).



As well, `values` can no longer be a list, and must be a 2D array.



```diff

- file.sheet1.update([["new", "values"]])

+ file.sheet1.update([["new", "values"]]) # unchanged



- file.sheet1.update("B2:C2", [["54", "55"]])

+ file.sheet1.update([["54", "55"]], "B2:C2")

# or

+ file.sheet1.update(range_name="B2:C2", values=[["54", "55"]])

```



### Change colors from dictionary to text



v6 uses hexadecimal color representation. Change all colors to hex. You can use the compatibility function `gspread.utils.convert_colors_to_hex_value()` to convert a dictionary to a hex string.



```diff

- tab_color = {"red": 1, "green": 0.5, "blue": 1}

+ tab_color = "#FF7FFF"

file.sheet1.update_tab_color(tab_color)

```



### Switch lastUpdateTime from property to method



```diff

- age = spreadsheet.lastUpdateTime

+ age = spreadsheet.get_lastUpdateTime()

```



### Replace method `Worksheet.get_records`



In v6 you can now only get *all* sheet records, using `Worksheet.get_all_records()`. The method `Worksheet.get_records()` has been removed. You can get some records using your own fetches and combine them with `gspread.utils.to_records()`.



```diff

+ from gspread import utils

  all_records = spreadsheet.get_all_records(head=1)

- some_records = spreadsheet.get_all_records(head=1, first_index=6, last_index=9)

- some_records = spreadsheet.get_records(head=1, first_index=6, last_index=9)

+ header = spreadsheet.get("1:1")[0]

+ cells = spreadsheet.get("6:9")

+ some_records = utils.to_records(header, cells)

```



### Silence warnings



In version 5 there are many warnings to mark deprecated feature/functions/methods.

They can be silenced by setting the `GSPREAD_SILENCE_WARNINGS` environment variable to `1`



## More Examples



### Opening a Spreadsheet



```python

# You can open a spreadsheet by its title as it appears in Google Docs

sh = gc.open('My poor gym results') # <-- Look ma, no keys!



# If you want to be specific, use a key (which can be extracted from

# the spreadsheet's url)

sht1 = gc.open_by_key('0BmgG6nO_6dprdS1MN3d3MkdPa142WFRrdnRRUWl1UFE')



# Or, if you feel really lazy to extract that key, paste the entire url

sht2 = gc.open_by_url('https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Bm...FE&hl')

```



### Creating a Spreadsheet



```python

sh = gc.create('A new spreadsheet')



# But that new spreadsheet will be visible only to your script's account.

# To be able to access newly created spreadsheet you *must* share it

# with your email. Which brings us to…

```



### Sharing a Spreadsheet



```python

sh.share('[email protected]', perm_type='user', role='writer')

```



### Selecting a Worksheet



```python

# Select worksheet by index. Worksheet indexes start from zero

worksheet = sh.get_worksheet(0)



# By title

worksheet = sh.worksheet("January")



# Most common case: Sheet1

worksheet = sh.sheet1



# Get a list of all worksheets

worksheet_list = sh.worksheets()

```



### Creating a Worksheet



```python

worksheet = sh.add_worksheet(title="A worksheet", rows="100", cols="20")

```



### Deleting a Worksheet



```python

sh.del_worksheet(worksheet)

```



### Getting a Cell Value



```python

# With label

val = worksheet.get('B1').first()



# With coords

val = worksheet.cell(1, 2).value

```



### Getting All Values From a Row or a Column



```python

# Get all values from the first row

values_list = worksheet.row_values(1)



# Get all values from the first column

values_list = worksheet.col_values(1)

```



### Getting All Values From a Worksheet as a List of Lists



```python

from gspread.utils import GridRangeType

list_of_lists = worksheet.get(return_type=GridRangeType.ListOfLists)

```



### Getting a range of values



Receive only the cells with a value in them.



```python

>>> worksheet.get("A1:B4")

[['A1', 'B1'], ['A2']]

```



Receive a rectangular array around the cells with values in them.



```python

>>> worksheet.get("A1:B4", pad_values=True)

[['A1', 'B1'], ['A2', '']]

```



Receive an array matching the request size regardless of if values are empty or not.



```python

>>> worksheet.get("A1:B4", maintain_size=True)

[['A1', 'B1'], ['A2', ''], ['', ''], ['', '']]

```



### Finding a Cell



```python

# Find a cell with exact string value

cell = worksheet.find("Dough")



print("Found something at R%sC%s" % (cell.row, cell.col))



# Find a cell matching a regular expression

amount_re = re.compile(r'(Big|Enormous) dough')

cell = worksheet.find(amount_re)

```



### Finding All Matched Cells



```python

# Find all cells with string value

cell_list = worksheet.findall("Rug store")



# Find all cells with regexp

criteria_re = re.compile(r'(Small|Room-tiering) rug')

cell_list = worksheet.findall(criteria_re)

```



### Updating Cells



```python

# Update a single cell

worksheet.update('B1', 'Bingo!')



# Update a range

worksheet.update('A1:B2', [[1, 2], [3, 4]])



# Update multiple ranges at once

worksheet.batch_update([{

    'range': 'A1:B2',

    'values': [['A1', 'B1'], ['A2', 'B2']],

}, {

    'range': 'J42:K43',

    'values': [[1, 2], [3, 4]],

}])

```
