使用 Google APP 脚本在 Google SpreadSheet 中导入 JSON object

Question

I writing a script which calls REST API to get JSON to object as response and then import that JSON object in Google SpreadSheet. I have written the code to call the REST API and get the JSON object. Now I have to write such a code that will write the JSON object in a Google SpreadSheet. Please see below code:

function myFunction() {


    var options = {};
    options.headers = {"Authorization": "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode("username" + ":" + "password")}
    options.muteHttpExceptions=true;


    // var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {'muteHttpExceptions': true});

    var response=UrlFetchApp.fetch("url", options);

    var dataAll=JSON.parse(response.getContentText())

    Logger.log(dataAll)

    /*
    var sheet = Sheets.newSpreadsheet();
    sheet.properties = Sheets.newSpreadsheetProperties();
    sheet.properties.title = "Demo";
    var spreadsheet = Sheets.Spreadsheets.create(sheet);
    */
}

This is code to call get the JSON object. The lines of code which have been commented out is for calling Google Sheets API. I want such a script which will import the data in dataAll object, which is JSON object in Google SpreadSheet.

The JSON object is as below:

[
{
    "id": 3428,
    "type": "SUPER",
    "firstName": "Nikhil",
    "lastName": "Dingane",
    "loginName": "nikhildingane",
    "domain": "openspecimen",
    "emailAddress": "nikhil@krishagni.com",
    "instituteName": "Krishagni Institute",
    "primarySite": "KSPL site",
    "admin": true,
    "instituteAdmin": false,
    "manageForms": true,
    "cpCount": 0,
    "creationDate": 1586333347000,
    "activityStatus": "Active"
},
{
    "id": 3439,
    "type": "NONE",
    "firstName": "NikhilUpdated",
    "lastName": "Dingane",
    "loginName": "nikhildingane1",
    "domain": "openspecimen",
    "emailAddress": "nikhil.nikhil.dingane@gmail.com",
    "instituteName": "Krishagni Institute",
    "primarySite": "KSPL site",
    "admin": false,
    "instituteAdmin": false,
    "manageForms": true,
    "cpCount": 0,
    "creationDate": 1586427573000,
    "activityStatus": "Active"
}
]

I want to write this JSON in Google SpreadSheet

Answer 1

Assuming that dataAll is a 2D array of values

You can do it is as following with the SpreadsheetApp:

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getRange(1,1, dataAll.length, dataAll[0].length);
range.setValues(dataAll);

• SpreadsheetApp
• Range
• setValues()

How to transform a JSON object into a 2D array

• Use the Object.keys() method to access the key-value pairs of each of the JSON array elements
• Use eg map to transform them into an array
• Assemble the single arrays as desired to set them into the sheet

 var array = [];
  for (var i = 0; i< json.length; i++){
    var newJson = Object.keys(json[i]).map(function (key) { 
      return [key, json[i][key]]; 
    }); 
    for(var j = 0; j< newJson.length; j++){
      array.push(newJson[j]);
    }
  }
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();  
  var range = sheet.getRange(1,1, array.length, array[0].length);
  range.setValues(array);

Answer 2

Range.setValues() is used to the set data as a two dimensional array to the sheet. Use Object.values and Object.keys with Array.map to convert array of objects to 2D array.

 const data = [ { "id": 3428, "type": "SUPER", "firstName": "Nikhil", "lastName": "Dingane", "loginName": "nikhildingane", "domain": "openspecimen", "emailAddress": "nikhil@krishagni.com", "instituteName": "Krishagni Institute", "primarySite": "KSPL site", "admin": true, "instituteAdmin": false, "manageForms": true, "cpCount": 0, "creationDate": 1586333347000, "activityStatus": "Active" }, { "id": 3439, "type": "NONE", "firstName": "NikhilUpdated", "lastName": "Dingane", "loginName": "nikhildingane1", "domain": "openspecimen", "emailAddress": "nikhil.nikhil.dingane@gmail.com", "instituteName": "Krishagni Institute", "primarySite": "KSPL site", "admin": false, "instituteAdmin": false, "manageForms": true, "cpCount": 0, "creationDate": 1586427573000, "activityStatus": "Active" } ]; const out = [Object.keys(data[0]),...data.map(Object.values)]; console.info(out); //SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheets()[0].getRange(1,1,out. length,out[0].length).setValues(out)
