How to use

var gsheets = require('google-sheets');
 
// authorize your account
gsheets.auth({
    email: <YOUR GOOGLE USERNAME>,
    password: <YOUR GOOGLE PASS>
}, function(err) {
    if (err) {
        throw err;
 
        // list spreadsheets in the account
        gsheets.list(function(err, sheets) {
            // sheets is an array of Spreadsheet objects
        });
 
        // load a specific sheet
        gsheets.getSpreadsheet(<YOUR SPREADSHEET KEY HERE>, function(err, sheet) {
            if (err) {
                throw err;
            }
 
            // sheet is a Spreadsheet object....lets list all its worksheets
            sheet.getWorksheets(function(err, worksheets) {
                if (err) {
                    throw err;
                }
                // loop over the worksheets and print their titles
                Array.forEach(worksheets, function(worksheet) {
                    console.log('Worksheet : ' + worksheet.getTitle());
                });
 
                // set size of first worksheet
                worksheets[0].set({
                    rows: 50,
                    cols: 50
                });
                // save it
                worksheet[0].save(function(err, worksheet) {
                    // worksheet now refers to the updated worksheet object
                    // lets get its rows and add some new ones
                    worksheet.getRows(function(err, rows) {
                        rows.create({
                            id: 1,
                            date: new Date().toUTCString(),
                            value: 'A new value'
                        }, function(err, row) {
                            // now delete it again
                            rows.remove(row, function(err) {
                                // remove succeeded
                            });
                        });
                    });
                });
            });
 
        });
    }

Documentation

Authorization

Current Google Sheets only supports authorized usage via GoogleClientLogin. It also only supports accessing spreadsheets through the private urls with the full projection. If this doesn't make any sense go read the Google Spreadsheets API documentation.

var gsheets = require('google-sheets');
 
// authorize your account
gsheets.auth({
    email: <YOUR GOOGLE USERNAME>,
    password: <YOUR GOOGLE PASS>
}, function(err) {

Rows

Rows support is operational, but is not yet stable. The interface is likely to change as I don't like the architecture currently, however it does all currently work.

Get Rows

Orderby

Reverse

Simple Query

Modify Rows

Cells

Cells support is not currently implemented but is planned.
