For a Google site, I want a page to display content based on the url parameters.
Eg. http://sites.google.com/../mypage?id=123
Then I want to make a HTTP request using the id and display the result on the page.
Or I want to use App Scripts to perform something and display the result on the page.
How can I do so?
Use on Google app script
function doGet(e){
// id in your Url. example : http://sites.google.com/../mypage?myidok=123
var element - e.parameters.myidok
// code
// your app
}
See this answer for an example of serving multiple html pages using HtmlService. The basic idea is to write doGet() to accept a query parameter that it will use to select which html page to serve.

I want to import data from a table from the following page:
https://basketballmonster.com/playerrankings.aspx
When I do so, with all players filter selected, only the top players are imported to my googlesheet. Can someone help me achieve this? Appreciation in advance.
I attached the googlesheet below for your review:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uvhNp6gBnnEvs8CBb4K7onccew_doFp96wmFEsYyLBk/edit?usp=sharing
Google Sheets can't know what your browser has, so it doesn't know whether you selected which filter. You have to get the same html for Sheets that you have displayed in your browser, which means adding the filter in your query.
Since it looks like the controls aren't passed as parameters in a GET request, sadly it's not as simple as appending
?PlayerFilterControl=TopPlayers to the url.
You have to POST it as a payload with a post request like
{ 'PlayerFilterControl': 'AllPlayers'}.
Sadly Google Sheets IMPORTHTML() doesn't support post request yet, so you'll have to get into apps scripts, request and xml parsing.
I suggest you check out these:

I am trying to create a google script that emails out a spreadsheet as html. I am trying to convert the spreadsheet to html using the export url, but currently google docs only lets you export it out as a zip. Is there a way to get the html representation of a spreadsheet worksheet?
function getDocAsHtml(docId){
var url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + docId + "/exportFormat?format=html";
var fetch=UrlFetchApp.fetch(url+docId).get
return fetch;
}
Publish the sheet that you want to get the HTML out of:
File Menu, PUBLISH TO WEB
Make sure that: "Automatically Republish When Changes Are Made" is checked.
Get the URL of the published page. Use that URL in a UrlFetchApp.fetch() request.
Use UrlFetchApp to get the content of that published sheet.
function fncSheetToHTML() {
var theSheetContents = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/YourID_Here/pubhtml?gid=123abc&single=true");
Logger.log("theSheetContents: " + theSheetContents);
}
The returned contents is a string. If you view the LOGS of what is returned from the above code, you'll see HTML tags in the content.
The published sheet is visible to anyone who uses that URL. So, if you don't want people to see the contents, this method might not be what you want. If you don't share that published URL, I don't know how likely it is that anyone will ever find it.
I need to scrape some URLs from some retailer product pages, but the specific URLs I need to get aren't in the html part of the page. The html looks like this for each of the items on which one would click to get to the page with the URL I need to grab:
<div id="name" class="hand bold" onclick="AVON.productcontrol.Go(45714);">ADVANCE TECHNIQUES Color Protection Conditioner Bonus Size</div>
I wrote the following to get URLs from the page, but since the actual URLs I need don’t seem to be stored in the page, it doesn’t get what I need:
def getUrls(URL):
"""input: product page url
output: list of urls to products
"""
connection = urllib.urlopen(URL)
dom = lxml.html.fromstring(connection.read())
selAnchor = CSSSelector('a')
foundElements = selAnchor(dom)
urlList = [e.get('href') for e in foundElements]
return urlList
Is there a way to get the link that the function after ‘onclick’ (I guess AVON.productcontrol.Go(#);) takes you to? I don’t fully understand html, and while I’ve read a bit about onclick, I can’t figure out how the function after 'onclick' works.
In order to find the URL that you are taken to on click, you need to find the JavaScript source code of the 'Go' function and read and understand it. It's buried somewhere within a tag or some JavaScript .js file that is referenced directly or indirectly by the HTML page. Happy digging!
Or: you automate the interaction with the web page with a tool like Selenium (http://docs.seleniumhq.org/) and just check where it takes you if you click.
I am trying to pass parameters to an app script embedded in page on google sites. This page was created using a custom template that has the original script. Everything works on the template but on the page itself, i get an 'undefined' when I try to use the values.
I am using the usual e.parameter.name code in the doGet(e) to get the value for the parameter 'name'. I do not understand why it works for the template but not for the page with the same template.
You cant pass parameters to the script from the embedded script url. Gas only picks up parameters from sites if those are in the site url itself.
As a workarround you can embed the gas url (with params) using the iframe gadget instead of inserting the script the normal way.
Try using parameters:
function doGet(e) {
Logger.log(e.parameters.name[0]);
}
Make sure you use the right link as well. Especially in an iframe in Google Sites. This one works for me, which changes macro.google.com to sites.google.com and makes other changes as well:
https://sites.google.com/macros/s/~~script ID~~/exec?param1=~~passed value~~¶m2~~passed~~
I am trying to show a specific privately shared drive folder in my Google page. I am using this guide: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/embedding_docslist_in_sites
I am stuck on Step "8. Replace PASTE_PAGE_URL_HERE in the method getPageByUrl() by the url of your file cabinet."
I have tried every URL combination in "" and I just get a scripting error on the getPageByUrl() method.
I just tested this and it seems to work fine for me. Make sure you are using the full URL for your file cabinet page. For example, on my test site, I created a new page using 'file cabinet' in the template dropdown calling it "myfcpage". This gives me a new page with URL: "https://sites.google.com/site/mytestsite/myfcpage". Therefore my function call looks like this:
var page = SitesApp.getPageByUrl("https://sites.google.com/site/mytestsite/myfcpage");
