I'm developing an application that saves an acquired value to a google spreadsheet. I would like to know if I can do following things via google-spreadsheet API while using python

  • Check if a spreadsheet exists with given name
  • Get a list of spreadsheets while requesting via name or id

Thanks in advance!

  • I have to apologize for my poor English skill. I cannot understand about `if i can request a list of spreadsheet with name and ID`. Can I ask you about the detail of it? – Tanaike Mar 18 '20 at 22:32
  • Could you show what you tried till now? – Iamblichus Mar 19 '20 at 09:17
  • Have you looked into the [`gspread`](https://github.com/burnash/gspread) package? That seems to make it much easier to work with the APIs than the google-spreadsheet API does. – dspencer Mar 19 '20 at 10:15

  • did you find a solution? – Michael Apr 03 '22 at 15:52
  • Can't you just try to write the value(s) and then react upon failure (e.g. spreadsheet does not exist): [EAFP](https://stackoverflow.com/q/11360858/3767239)? – a_guest Aug 19 '22 at 12:41
