Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID.
By default, data within grids is not returned. You can include grid data in one of 2 ways:
Specify a field mask listing your desired fields using the fields
URL parameter in HTTP
Set the includeGridData
URL parameter to true. If a field mask is set, the includeGridData
parameter is ignored
For large spreadsheets, as a best practice, retrieve only the specific spreadsheet fields that you want.
To retrieve only subsets of spreadsheet data, use the ranges
URL parameter. Ranges are specified using A1 notation. You can define a single cell (for example, A1
) or multiple cells (for example, A1:D5
). You can also get cells from other sheets within the same spreadsheet (for example, Sheet2!A1:C4
) or retrieve multiple ranges at once (for example, ?ranges=A1:D5&ranges=Sheet2!A1:C4
). Limiting the range returns only the portions of the spreadsheet that intersect the requested ranges.
