Apps Script API not pasting data into Google Sheets

Question

I'm trying to execute the function by calling it from my Chrome Extension. I can see in my "My Executions" that the chrome extension called the function, but it's not pasting data into Google Sheets.

• When I try to run that function from the Script Editor directly it's working.

Function Call from Chrome Extension

post({ 'url': 'https://script.googleapis.com/v1/scripts/' + SCRIPT_ID + ':run',
  'callback': executionAPIResponse,
  'token': token,
  'request': {
    'function': 'setData',
    'parameters': { 'data': JSON.parse(exec_data.value) },
  }
});

Script Editor Code

function setData(parameters) {  
  try {
    var doc = SpreadsheetApp.openById(DOC_ID);
    var sheet = doc.getSheets()[0];
    var data = parameters.data;
    sheet.getRange(1, 1, data.length, data[0].length).setValues(data);
    return {"status":"ok", 'doc':doc.getUrl()};
  } catch(e){
    // if error return this
    Logger.log(e);
    return {"status": JSON.stringify(e)};
  }
}

I deployed the Apps Script project as "API Executable." I am wondering, is there something wrong with the way I deployed the app in Script Editor?

Answer 1

getActiveSpreadsheet() only works on scripts projects bounded to a spreadsheet and only to access the the spreadshet that contains the script project.

Instead of using the above method use openByUrl(url) or openById(id)

Answer 2

I found the mistake i was making. Actually the code was correct but while deploying as API Executable you have to always change the version to new one when you made changes to your code
