Is there a way to get cell values of a public google spread sheet ?
GET https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1vW01Y46DcpCC7aKLIUwV_W4RXLbeukVwF-G9AA7P7R0/values/A1A4?key=abcdef
returns 403.
I also sent the Referrer in Postman : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.128 Safari/537.36

}
]
}
}
I am trying to access a public sheet's data directly from client-side JavaScript.
No round-trips to the server. I remember this was possible some 10 years ago but am unable to locate the docs.

You can access the public spreadsheet by json endpoint
var id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var gid = '1111111111111';
var url = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/'+id+'/gviz/tq?tqx=out:json&tq&gid='+gid;
Take a slice
data.substring(47).slice(0, -2)
and parse the json
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n-rjSYb63Z2jySS3-M0BQ78vu8DTPOjG-SZM4i8IxXI/gviz/tq?tqx=out:json&tq&gid=0
function getEndpointJson(){
var id = '1n-rjSYb63Z2jySS3-M0BQ78vu8DTPOjG-SZM4i8IxXI';
var gid = '0';
var txt = UrlFetchApp.fetch(`https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/${id}/gviz/tq?tqx=out:json&tq&gid=${gid}`).getContentText();
var jsonString = txt.match(/(?<="table":).*(?=}\);)/g)[0]
var json = JSON.parse(jsonString)
var table = []
var row = []
json.cols.forEach(colonne => row.push(colonne.label))
table.push(row)
json.rows.forEach(r => {
var row = []
r.c.forEach(cel => {
try{var value = cel.f ? cel.f : cel.v}
catch(e){var value = ''}
row.push(value)
}
)
table.push(row)
}
)
return (table)
}
For instance on html page (you have to store it in outside server)
<html>
<title>Google Sheets json endpoint V4</title>
<author>Mike Steelson</author>
<style>
table {border-collapse: collapse;}
th,td{border: 1px solid black;}
</style>
<body>
<div id="json">json here</div>
<script>
var id = '1n-rjSYb63Z2jySS3-M0BQ78vu8DTPOjG-SZM4i8IxXI';
var gid = '0';
var url = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/'+id+'/gviz/tq?tqx=out:json&tq&gid='+gid;
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(data => document.getElementById("json").innerHTML=myItems(data.substring(47).slice(0, -2))
);
function myItems(jsonString){
var json = JSON.parse(jsonString);
var table = '<table><tr>'
json.table.cols.forEach(colonne => table += '<th>' + colonne.label + '</th>')
table += '</tr>'
json.table.rows.forEach(ligne => {
table += '<tr>'
ligne.c.forEach(cellule => {
try{var valeur = cellule.f ? cellule.f : cellule.v}
catch(e){var valeur = ''}
table += '<td>' + valeur + '</td>'
}
)
table += '</tr>'
}
)
table += '</table>'
return table
}
</script>
</body></html>
The sheet ID you have provided is wrong.
