    This document discusses how to access data from a Google Sheet using the Python API and convert it to a Pandas dataframe. It describes authenticating via OAuth to access the sheet, installing the necessary Google API client libraries, getting the sheet ID and worksheet name, and provides code to retrieve the sheet data and convert it to a dataframe. The code accesses the sheet data using the sheet ID and range name, builds the Sheets API service, and calls the API to get the sheet values and return them as a dataframe.

    How to access Google Sheet data using

    the Python API and convert to Pandas


    dataframe

    For many data science/visualization projects I work on, setting up a


    SQL database (or something similar) is overkill. On the opposite side of
    the spectrum, using local Excel les makes things more di cult to
    share and replicate. Google Sheets are often an excellent middle-
    ground, providing an easy-to-use collaborative platform with a familiar
    Excel-like interface.

    Accessing Google sheet data using OAuth and the Google Python API is
    a straightforward process, thanks to the (per usual) excellent Google
    documentation. First, we need to setup OAuth credentials on our
    Google Drive account in order to access the worksheet.
    Next, we need to install the Google API client libraries for Python. We
    can do this in an (ideally, in an activated Python virtual environment)
    using pip.

    Obviously, in a tutorial about accessing Google sheet data, you’re going


    to need a sheet to work with — I’ll be using my “Volcanic Wines” sheet
    (based on the awesome volcanic activity data available from the
    Smithsonian). For the next steps, you’re going to need the sheet ID,
    which you can get from the URL, and then the name of the worksheet.

    Get the spreadsheet ID from the Google Docs URL

    Get the Google Sheet name of interest

    Now, create a new Python script to retrieve the data (make sure the
    ‘client_secret.json’ le is saved in the same working directory as the
    script, or provide an explicit path). Update the spreadsheet ID and
    worksheet names in the code below with the relevant values for your
    spreadsheet.

    Run the script, and you should get your sheet data returned as a
    dataframe — stay-tuned for an upcoming set of tutorials that will walk
    through the creation and deployment of a Plotly Dash web app using
    this Volcanic Wine data!
