在python中使用gspread import_csv函数时找不到文件

Question

I am using gspread package in python.

I try to import a csv into a google spreadsheet but I got an error.

My code is as follows:

import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

spreadsheet_id = '1tFhK2-zebkG1fZFF6Xe5LHyONkh97ANOkcf'

scopes = [
    'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'
]

creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('./credentials.json', scopes=scopes)

client = gspread.authorize(creds)

file = open('test_csv.csv',mode='r')
csv = file.read()
file.close()

client.import_csv(spreadsheet_id, csv)

The error I got is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
APIError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)

    239             },

    241         )

     78         else:

APIError: {

  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "notFound",
    "message": "File not found: 1tFhK2-zebkG1fZFF6Xe5LHyONkh97ANOkcf",
    "locationType": "other",
    "location": "file"
   }
  ],
  "code": 404,
  "message": "File not found: 1tFhK2-zebkG1fZFF6Xe5LHyONkh97ANOkcf"
 }
}

However, I get no error when I try to read or write on cell directly (with update_cell function for example), so the spreadsheet does exist and I can write on it. It is specifically import_csv that throws an error.

I have created the google sheet through the google drive web interface. I then added my client_email from credential.json (blabla@blabla-220209.iam.gserviceaccount.com) in the authorized mail of the spreadsheet.

Any suggestion ?

Answer 1

I fixed it by sharing the file with the 'client_email' found within the credentials JSON file. Although I did not test this, I also suspect making the spreadsheet Public (anyone on web can see) will fix the issue.

Cheers!

Answer 2

By going to your sheet and changing sharing options to anyone with the link can edit, fixes it.

Here's the code I used:

import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
scope = ["(some scopes)"]
creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name("creds.json", scope)
gc = gspread.service_account("creds.json", scope)
client = gspread.authorize(creds)
sLink = "(link)"
sh = gc.open_by_url(sLink)
sh.share('<example.email.com>', perm_type='user', role='writer')

Answer 3

Make sure you're using the latest version of gspread. The one that is eg bundled with Google Colab is outdated:

!pip install --upgrade gspread

This fixed the error in gs.csv_import for me.
