For detail
GSPREAD is a Python class library that can interact with Google Sheets to realize the reading and writing operation of data in Google Sheets.It uses Google Sheets API to communicate with Google Sheets, and provides a simple and easy -to -use interface, which makes it very convenient to operate Google Sheets in Python.
The technical principles of the GSPREAD library are as follows:
1. Google Sheets API: GSPread uses Google Sheets API to communicate with Google Sheets.Google Sheets API is a set of RESTFUL interface provided by Google. By sending HTTP requests to these interfaces, you can read and write operations on Google Sheets.
2. OAUTH certification: In order to use Google Sheets API, we need to perform OAUTH certification.GSPREAD provides a convenient method for authentication. Users only need to provide the path of the Google Sheets API key file, and GSPREAD will automatically process the certification process.
Using the GSPREAD library can achieve the following functions:
1. Connect to Google Sheets: By using GSPREAD's `Service_account` method, you can connect to the specified Google Sheets account and perform identity authentication.
2. Open the worksheet: Use GSPREAD's `Open` method to open the specified worksheet.Can be opened by the name or ID of the worksheet.
3. Read cell data: By using the `Get` method of GSPREAD, you can obtain cell data in the specified work table.You can read it by specifying the coordinates or names of the cell.
4. Write the cell data: By using the `update` method of GSPREAD, you can write the data to the cell in the specified work table.It can be written by specifying the coordinates or names of the cell.
5. Operation worksheet: GSPREAD also provides other methods to operate worksheets, such as creating new worksheets and deleting worksheets.
Below is a sample code using the GSPREAD library:
python
import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
#The key file path for Google Sheets API
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('credentials.json')
# To the specified Google Sheets account
client = gspread.authorize(credentials)
# Open the specified worksheet
sheet = client.open ('Workheet name') .sheet1
# Read cell data data
data = sheet.get('A1').value
print(data)
#
sheet.update('B2', 'Hello, World!')
# Read the entire worksheet data
all_data = sheet.get_all_values()
print(all_data)
Note: Before using GSPREAD, you need to perform related configurations, including creating Google Sheets API keys, authorized files, etc.In the above example code, you need to replace the `credentials.json` with your key file path, and replace the` `` `` `` `` ``
