When I use the Google API Explorer for SpreadSheet to Try this API and fill in the spreadsheetId, the information it returns includes a properties key that has the spreadsheet name in it:
{
"spreadsheetId": "1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms",
"properties": {
"title": "Example Spreadsheet",
"locale": "en_US",
}
}
How do I get this information using Python?
I want to get the filename from : result['properties']['title']
The Python quickstart code is:
"""
Shows basic usage of the Sheets API. Prints values from a Google Spreadsheet.
"""
from __future__ import print_function
from apiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file, client, tools
# Setup the Sheets API
SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly'
store = file.Storage('credentials.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', SCOPES)
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)
service = build('sheets', 'v4', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
# Call the Sheets API
SPREADSHEET_ID = '1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms'
RANGE_NAME = 'Class Data!A2:E'
result = service.spreadsheets().values().get(spreadsheetId=SPREADSHEET_ID,
range=RANGE_NAME).execute()
The result here is a hash of the data from the RANGE_NAME that was requested:
{
u'range': u "'Class Data'!A2:E101",
u'values': [
[u 'Alexandra', u 'Female', u '4. Senior', u 'CA', u 'English'],
[u 'Andrew', u 'Male', u '1. Freshman', u 'SD', u 'Math'],
[u 'Anna', u 'Female', u '1. Freshman', u 'NC', u 'English'],
[u 'Becky', u 'Female', u '2. Sophomore', u 'SD', u 'Art'],
[u 'Benjamin', u 'Male', u '4. Senior', u 'WI', u 'English'],
[u 'Carl', u 'Male', u '3. Junior', u 'MD', u 'Art'],

}
It does not contain the properties dictionary that I want! I turned on the Google Sheets API and I've requested the following SCOPES and it also does not include the properties information:
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
