How to deploy Google Sheet as Web-app using Google API - google-apps-script

Question

I have a little proble with Google Sheets API
I have a Google Sheet Document on my GDrive. And I can work with it using Google Sheets API and Google Drive API. So I can move it, update it or make copies.
My task is:
1. make a copy of this document (I can do this)
2. publish this copy as web app. So each copy has a doGet() functon inside so it can be published as a Web app. Manually it can be done like: Publish -> Deploy as web app.. But I can't find any API to do this.
Get an URL of published service
UPDATE
I read documentation projects.deployments.create And I maanged to create a new deployment (before that I should create a version) But my new deployemnt has no web access, no url etc. IF I check via projects.deployments.list it shows:
{
"deploymentId": "AKfycbxVfuoeIQmumgy_Efhw12NCcqE7vqosYoxbDiKj5CT4mL_GbtybXsh1ppMIX22wQX20",
"deploymentConfig": {
"scriptId": "1zfjbALVe0jGbZCtqjFR0RP2-O___hR7MtAlx3biuJGXKsrKh3y1W0hMT",
"versionNumber": 1,
"manifestFileName": "appsscript",
"description": "v1"
},
"updateTime": "2019-05-13T22:33:23.760Z"
}
And if I will do this manually via web interface it will looks like
{
"deploymentId": "AKfycbyn3smPKxJcZwsm9SzSTtzNCAcWJzf1OVs4WTslvHo",
"deploymentConfig": {
"scriptId": "1zfjbALVe0jGbZCtqjFR0RP2-O___hR7MtAlx3biuJGXKsrKh3y1W0hMT",
"manifestFileName": "appsscript"
},
"updateTime": "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"entryPoints": [
{
"entryPointType": "WEB_APP",
"webApp": {
"url": "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyn3smPKxJcZwsm9SzSTtzNCAcWJzf1OVs4WTslvHo/exec",
"entryPointConfig": {
"access": "ANYONE_ANONYMOUS",
"executeAs": "USER_DEPLOYING"
}
}
}
]
}

The Apps Script API needs to be used. You can use the REST API and make a UrlFetchApp.fetch(url) request. This is a two step process. First you must create a new Apps Script file, then you must update that new Apps Script file with new contents in the manifest file. The manifest file must have a property for webapp which is what designates the type of deployment.
The code will probably look something like the following:
function deployA_project() {
var id, OAuthToken,options,payload,rtrn,url;
id = ScriptApp.getScriptId();//Get the project ID of this script project
Logger.log('id: ' + id)
url = 'https://script.googleapis.com/v1/projects/' + id + '/deployments';//For REST
OAuthToken = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
payload = {
"versionNumber": number,
"manifestFileName": string,
"description": string
}
options = {
"method" : "POST",
"muteHttpExceptions": true,
"headers": {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + OAuthToken
},
"contentType": "application/json",
"payload": JSON.stringify(payload)
};
rtrn = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,options);
Logger.log('rtrn: ' + rtrn)
}
See the documentation:
projects.deployments.create
How the apps script project is deployed is designated in the manifest file:
{
"timeZone": "America/New_York",
"dependencies": {
},
"webapp": {
"access": "MYSELF",
"executeAs": "USER_DEPLOYING"
},
"exceptionLogging": "STACKDRIVER"
}
The API doesn't provide a configuration setting for creating the type of deployment. So, turning the deployment into a Web App is done by updating the manifest file. This must be a two step process. First, you create the new project file, then you update it with a JSON object of file content. You can designate the file content of the manifest file named "appsscript.json"
The content must be JSON in the following format:
{
"scriptId": "scriptId",
"files": [{
"name": "appsscript",
"type": "JSON",
"source": "{\"timeZone\":\"America/New_York\", \"webapp\": {\"access\": \"MYSELF\",\"executeAs\": \"USER_DEPLOYING\"},\"exceptionLogging\":\"STACKDRIVER\"}",
"lastModifyUser": {
"name": "MyName",
"email": "example#gmail.com",
}
}]
}
You need to make another request to a different url, and the request must be a PUT request in order to make an update:
url = 'https://script.googleapis.com/v1/projects/' + id + '/deployments/' + {deploymentId}
var newContent = {
"scriptId": "scriptId",
"files": [{
"name": "appsscript",
"type": "JSON",
"source": "{\"timeZone\":\"America/New_York\", \"webapp\": {\"access\": \"MYSELF\",\"executeAs\": \"USER_DEPLOYING\"},\"exceptionLogging\":\"STACKDRIVER\"}",
"lastModifyUser": {
"name": "MyName",
"email": "example#gmail.com",
}
}]
}
var requestBody = {};
requestBody.files = newContent;
requestBody.deploymentConfig = {
"scriptId": string,
"versionNumber": number,
"manifestFileName": string,
"description": string
}
options = {
"method" : "PUT",
"muteHttpExceptions": true,
"headers": {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + OAuthToken
},
"contentType": "application/json",
"payload": JSON.stringify(requestBody)
};
rtrn = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,options);
Logger.log('rtrn: ' + rtrn)
