I have searched a lot for this already, and I honestly can't believe that I haven't been able to find the answer, even if it's "You can't do that".
I have created a bound Google Apps Script Project inside of a Google Sheet. That project contains a function called getVidViews source:
function getVidViews(id){
//id = k3y1hJPVavY
let res = YouTube.Videos.list('statistics',{'id':id});
return res.items[0].statistics.viewCount;
}
If I run this code from the Project Editor IDE and un-comment the line where I set id. I'm redirected to authorize oAuth scopes, and the function executes exactly how I want.
However, I want to have a spreadsheet where I have the id in cell A1 and I want to paste the result of the call in B1.
I should be able to accomplish this by pasting an id in A1 and using the formula =getVidViews(A1) in B1
When I do this, I get the error:
GoogleJsonResponseException: API call to youtube.videos.list failed
with error: The request is missing a valid API key.
I cannot figure why it is requesting an API key here, but not in the code editor. Also, I know that Google Apps Scripts create a hidden GCP project, but don't know if I can add an API key to that project for use in this instance.
Please point me in the right direction.
Custom functions only support certain services and YouTube isn't one of them.
Here's a deep dive into custom functions if you are interested.
Im use this Google ApiClient https://developers.google.cn/apps-script/api/quickstart/php
To pull Form & Responses, but same the api just add script to script.google
Please show me example to get the list form and Responses
Thanks
As of this writing there are no explicit REST APIs to pull Google Form data, so you won't be able to pull form responses directly from the Google API PHP client.
It you want to access form responses from PHP you'll need to use App Script to create a custom intermediary service/API that exposes the information you want.
You're already aware of the Apps Script API, so you can try creating a series of custom Apps Script functions to pull form responses and then call the Apps Script API from PHP to execute those functions to return the requisite data.
None of this is trivial to implement, and I don't have any code that I can share. But I'd start with reading the Apps Script API documentation and work out a solution from there.
I need to know what is the exact API and parameters to write the data into Google Spreadsheet.
I am new to Google APIs. I am trying to integrate one of the SAP product ByD with google spreadsheet. So I need a REST URL and description.
I understood that, (https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer#handlingtheresponse)
Get Authorization code
From (1), Get Token Value
Call Write API along with Token Value.
Is this correct? Or any detailed step by step proceeder documentation?
I have tried to access authorization code as shown in the below screenshot. But it is returning 400 Bad requests

How can I access the contents of a (new-style) Google sheet a JSON? My aim is to access the values from JavaScript, so I need to be able to download the JSON via HTTP.
Example: how can I download the data from this sheet as JSON?
I tried to find the answer via a web search, but ultimately failed:
Many tutorials on the web start with the instruction to find the key=... value in the url. The URL I got when I exported the sheet is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI/pubhtml?gid=1822753188&single=true and has no key=... in it.
The answer to "Accessing A Public Google Sheet" seems to indicate that I should try https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI/export?format=csv&id=1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI&gid=1822753188 to get a CSV version, but this does not work for me: I get a sign-in page instead of the data.
I found approaches using Google Apps Scripts, but these seem to require some user action in the browser instead of giving a download link.
If you want to use the latest API (v4), you'll need to do the following:
Generate a spreadsheets API key (see instructions below).
Make your sheet publicly accessible.
Use a request of the form:
https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/SPREADSHEET_ID/values/RANGE?key=API_KEY
You'll then get a clean JSON response back:
{
"range": "Sheet1!A1:D5",
"majorDimension": "ROWS",
"values": [
["Item", "Cost", "Stocked", "Ship Date"],
["Wheel", "$20.50", "4", "3/1/2016"],
["Door", "$15", "2", "3/15/2016"],
["Engine", "$100", "1", "30/20/2016"],
["Totals", "$135.5", "7", "3/20/2016"]
],
}
Note that if you want to specify the entire contents of a page, an identifier such as Sheet1 is perfectly valid.
See Basic Reading for more information.
As of v4 API, all requests must be accompanied by an identifier (e.g. API key):
Requests to the Google Sheets API for public data must be accompanied by an identifier, which can be an API key or an access token.
Follow the steps in the linked document to create an API key on the credentials page.
Make sure to:
Create a new app on Google Cloud Platform.
Create a new API key.
Add the Google Sheets API. (API Manager > Dashboard > Enable API)
Note that you can still access public data without forcing the user to log in:
In the new Sheets API v4, there is no explicit declaration of visibility. API calls are made using spreadsheet IDs. If the application does not have permission to access specified spreadsheet, an error is returned. Otherwise the call proceeds.
Note that you do not need to publish the sheet to the web. All you need to do is make sure anyone with the link can access the sheet.
(I.e. when you click Create credentials on the Google Sheets API, choose Other non-UI, User data, and it says "User data cannot be accessed from a platform without a UI because it requires user interaction for sign-in." you can safely ignore that message. The API Key is all you really need, since this is public data.)
Common error messages:
The request is missing a valid API key.
You didn't include the key= param in your call.
API key not valid. Please pass a valid API key.
Google developers console
You supplied an incorrect API key. Make sure that you typed in your key correctly. If you don't have a key yet, go to the Google developers console and create one.
API Key not found. Please pass a valid API key.
Google developer console API key
Your API Key is probably correct, but you most likely didn't add the Google Sheets permission. Go to the Google developer console API key page and add the sheets permission.
The caller does not have permission
Your sheet isn't set to be publicly accessible.
I have finally (kind of) solved my problem. Just for future reference, and in case somebody else runs into the same troubles, here the solution I came up with:
To make the worksheet publicly accessible, one needs to make the worksheet publicly accessible. This is done in the Google Sheets web interface, using the menu entries File > Publish to the web ... > link > publish. It is possible to either publish the whole spreadsheet or individual worksheets.
An API to access data from Google Sheets programmatically is described on the Google Sheets API web pages. This API uses URLS of the form https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/.../key/worksheetId/.... Slightly oddly, the meaning of key and worksheetId seems not to be explained in the API documentation.
My experiments show that the key value can be found by taking part of the URLs used to access the sheet via the web interface (see also here). The key is everything after the /d/, until the next slash. For the spreadsheet in the question, the key is thus 1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI. The worksheetId seems to be an integer, giving the position of the worksheet in the spreadsheet. For the example in the question one has to know that the sheet shown is the second worksheet, the worksheetId in this case is 2.
The API defined public and private requests. To access an exported resource without authentication, public requests must be used.
The API calls to get data from the spreadsheet are explained in the section "Retrieving a list-based feed" (click on the "Protocol" tab in the examples). The URL required extract the data from the spreadsheet in the question is
https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI/2/public/full
A HTTP GET request to this URL returns that data as XML. (I have not found a way to get the data as JSON.)
The usual protections agains cross-site requests make it difficult to access the data via JavaScript XML RPC calls in a web app. One way around this problem is to proxy the API calls through the web server (e.g. using nginx's proxy_pass directive).
The above steps are at least a partial solution to the problem in the question. The only difficulty is that the data is returned as XML rather than as JSON. Since the API documentation does not mention JSON, maybe it is not possible any more to extract the data in this format?
Edit: (Aug 17, 2021) With the rollout of Sheets v4, the endpoint in the original answer has been deprecated. The updated endpoint and sample script included below:
Updated solution
Credits to the original answer here.
"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + spreadsheetId + "/gviz/tq?tqx=out:json&gid=0";
You don't technically have to include the gid if you just want the first sheet, but you can specify another sheet if you'd like using that parameter.
Here's a sample script to retrieve values of Spreadsheet as JSON, and then parsed as header row and values.
var sf = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l7VfPOI3TYtPuBZlZ-JMMiZW1OK6rzIBt8RFd6KmwbA/gviz/tq?tqx=out:json";
$.ajax({url: sf, type: 'GET', dataType: 'text'})
.done(function(data) {
const r = data.match(/google\.visualization\.Query\.setResponse\(([\s\S\w]+)\)/);
if (r && r.length == 2) {
const obj = JSON.parse(r[1]);
const table = obj.table;
const header = table.cols.map(({label}) => label);
const rows = table.rows.map(({c}) => c.map(({v}) => v));
console.log(header);
console.log(rows);
}
})
.fail((e) => console.log(e.status));
Original solution
Note: This no longer works as Sheets v3 was deprecated in August 2021.
Here's how to get the JSON using those same URL parameters:
"https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/" + spreadsheetID + "/od6/public/values?alt=json";
Creds to #jochen on the answer with the path all the way up to XML "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/" + spreadsheetID + "/od6/public/" + sheetID;
As #jochen's answer explains, this sheetID is based on the order of the sheets in the spreadsheet.
A faster solution here is to use this https://gist.github.com/ronaldsmartin/47f5239ab1834c47088e to wrap around your existing spreadsheet.
You first need to change your sheet access to Anyone with link can View
Add the id and sheet html param to the URL below.
https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzGvKKUIaqsMuCj7-A2YRhR-f7GZjl4kSxSN1YyLkS01_CfiyE/exec
Eg: your id is your sheet id which is
1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI
and your sheet which is
Sheet2
In your case you can actually see your data here as json at
https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzGvKKUIaqsMuCj7-A2YRhR-f7GZjl4kSxSN1YyLkS01_CfiyE/exec?id=1mhv1lpzufTruZhzrY-ms0ciDVKYiFJLWCMpi4OOuqvI&sheet=Sheet2
To be safe, you should deploy the code sheetAsJson.gs in the github gist above as your own in your Google Drive.
Here is the solution
Note your sheet id in the document url (don't use the published url to find the id!)
Publish your sheet, just as html page
Use the id from step 1,
and put it in this url https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/{id}/1/public/full?alt=json
The /1 indicates the first sheet in your document
I am new to Google Scripts for Applications and am trying to get an array of the users that can edit a Google spreadsheet. When I do DriveApp.getFileById('xxxxxx').getEditors()...it returns an array of users. When I run the .getName() method on each item in the array, it returns the names. However, when the run the .getEmail() method on each item, it does not return the email address for each user.
I tried opening the spreadsheet with SpreadsheetApp.openFileById('xxxxxx').getEditors()...and with this array I was able to run the .getEmail() method on each item and get the email addresses.
What is the difference between these .getEmail() methods? Why can I seem to get the emails from the SpreadsheetApp, but not the DriveApp?
DriveApp as well as the drive api protect collaborator's emails. You no longer can get them.
You have to use the older apis which will eventually be deprecated.
In the new api you can only tell the users email if you previously shared something with them and you saved their permissionId. See the drive api docs for more.
