Simple interface for working with Google Sheets.
Features:
Requirements: Python 3.8+.
Start using gspread
import gspread # First you need access to the Google API. Based on the route you # chose in Step 1, call either service_account(), oauth() or api_key(). 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([[1, 2], [3, 4]], "A1") # Or update a single cell wks.update_acell("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
Python 3.7 is end-of-life. gspread v6 requires a minimum of Python 3.8.
ChangeWorksheet.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.
- 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"]])See More Migration Guide 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.
- 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
- 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()
.
+ 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)
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

# 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')
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…

# With label val = worksheet.get('B1').first() # With coords val = worksheet.cell(1, 2).valueGetting All Values From a Row or a Column
# 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
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.
>>> worksheet.get("A1:B4") [['A1', 'B1'], ['A2']]
Receive a rectangular array around the cells with values in them.
>>> 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.
>>> worksheet.get("A1:B4", maintain_size=True) [['A1', 'B1'], ['A2', ''], ['', ''], ['', '']]
# 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
# 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)
# Update a single cell worksheet.update_acell('B1', 'Bingo!') # Update a range worksheet.update([[1, 2], [3, 4]], 'A1:B2') # Update multiple ranges at once worksheet.batch_update([{ 'range': 'A1:B2', 'values': [['A1', 'B1'], ['A2', 'B2']], }, { 'range': 'J42:K43', 'values': [[1, 2], [3, 4]], }])Get unformatted cell value or formula
from gspread.utils import ValueRenderOption # Get formatted cell value as displayed in the UI >>> worksheet.get("A1:B2") [['$12.00']] # Get unformatted value from the same cell range >>> worksheet.get("A1:B2", value_render_option=ValueRenderOption.unformatted) [[12]] # Get formula from a cell >>> worksheet.get("C2:D2", value_render_option=ValueRenderOption.formula) [['=1/1024']]Add data validation to a range
import gspread from gspread.utils import ValidationConditionType # Restrict the input to greater than 10 in a single cell worksheet.add_validation( 'A1', ValidationConditionType.number_greater, [10], strict=True, inputMessage='Value must be greater than 10', ) # Restrict the input to Yes/No for a specific range with dropdown worksheet.add_validation( 'C2:C7', ValidationConditionType.one_of_list, ['Yes', 'No',] showCustomUi=True )
