有没有办法将私人谷歌电子表格中的数据显示为网站上的图表？

Question

I am doing a project for my school. I have logged in the number of visitors who come to the school using a car, a bike, a bicycle or some other form of transport on a google spreadsheet. I want to be able to display all the data in the form of charts on my school website in order to keep track of the CO2 emissions caused by people to come to school daily. I read about the google spreadsheet api but can't understand how to get data from the spreadsheet without making it public. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes definitely, write code in Google app script to get required data from spreadsheet, deploy your script ( anyone even anonymous option), change version of script each time when you are changing code and deploy again.

Get URL of deployed app script, do ajax call to that url from your javascript code (in your web application) and get required data and use it to show chart using any chart plugin from jquery.

Answer 2

no need to code this in apps script. Google sheets natively supports publishing charts.

Depending on how you published the chart, its a different process to update the chart as the data changes. If you used "publish to the web", simply republish, or modify the URL to remove the range (with some caveats, see this help topic on ways to do it. Its an old post and the new sheets publish url may be different or allow open ranges (like A1:C). https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!category-topic/docs/how-do-i/ZRpghByKHNM

If you publish the chart inside a doc or presentation, see http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.pe/2016/05/embed-charts-from-google-sheets-in.html which is a more streamlined way to update the chart, but requires an intermediate doc/slide.
