Connect Google Sheet API in Python

Question

I am trying to upload data to google sheet by python.

But i found that I have to use administrator to run the script.

My computer OS is Window10.

The followings are my python script.

import gspread
from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials

scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets"]
credentials = Credentials.from_service_account_file(filename='C:/Users/KCL47/Desktop/googleSheetUpdate/credentials.json', scopes=scopes)
client = gspread.authorize(credentials)
sheet = client.open_by_key("1DjCtgGxJapLNI44KMppmJZGCMjMVLgjmT__3xPdE0Sk").sheet1
sheet.clear()
sheet.append_row(values=header)
sheet.append_rows(values=records)

The file credentials.json, I follow this website to create the json file.

My Python version is 3.10.6.

Most of Library are updated to latest version.

When I use administrator to run the script, there are no any problems.

But when I use normal user to run the script.I got the following Error.

This problem appear on sheet = client.open_by_key("1DjCtgGxJapLNI44KMppmJZGCMjMVLgjmT__3xPdE0Sk").sheet1

I have try to update certifi. But It is the latest version already.

The Python is install by administrator user.

How can I run this script without administrator in my computer?

Is it possible that the connection to google is not possible due to proxy settings?

Have you tried adding session?

Example:

import requests
from gspread import Client

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False

gc = Client(None, session)

gspread doc example:

import json
from gspread import Client
from authlib.integrations.requests_client import AssertionSession

def create_assertion_session(conf_file, scopes, subject=None):
    with open(conf_file, 'r') as f:
        conf = json.load(f)

    token_url = conf['token_uri']
    issuer = conf['client_email']
    key = conf['private_key']
    key_id = conf.get('private_key_id')

    header = {'alg': 'RS256'}
    if key_id:
        header['kid'] = key_id

    # Google puts scope in payload
    claims = {'scope': ' '.join(scopes)}
    return AssertionSession(
        grant_type=AssertionSession.JWT_BEARER_GRANT_TYPE,
        token_url=token_url,
        issuer=issuer,
        audience=token_url,
        claims=claims,
        subject=subject,
        key=key,
        header=header,
    )

scopes = [
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
]
session = create_assertion_session('your-google-conf.json', scopes)
gc = Client(None, session)

wks = gc.open("Where is the money Lebowski?").sheet1

wks.update_acell('B2', "it's down there somewhere, let me take another look.")

# Fetch a cell range
cell_list = wks.range('A1:B7')

Thanks for reply. I tried to use Session. But i got another error. ```TypeError: Credentials.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'session'``` — kachi lau, Aug 30 '22 at 02:07
https://docs.gspread.org/en/v5.4.0/advanced.html check this out. This specified the session usage — Battseren Badral, Aug 30 '22 at 02:36
I have try the gspread doc example. Now the problem is ```TypeError: AssertionSession.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'token_endpoint'``` — kachi lau, Aug 30 '22 at 03:40
I have also try to add token_endpoint=token_url, but the problem have go back to ```requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='oauth2.googleapis.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /token (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:997)')))``` — kachi lau, Aug 30 '22 at 04:00
