Update Google spreadsheet cell (python)

Question

I read (quite) similar posts like this but I'm not able to fix my problem, and google documentation is not 100% useful since they don't provide real examples.

The thing is I'm facing a problem with google sheets. What I'm trying to do is to update cells in a google sheet. Basically, I read a sheet and if a specific column doesn't have a specific word/state, I do an automation with selenium (I don't show you this step since it's not important), and once is done, I write the word 'OK' in a column in my Google sheet. This column is empty or with the word 'OK' wrote on it. I'm able to read the sheet and do the automation, but I get an error when trying to update the sheet.

This is my code (basically is Google's code):

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets']
SPREADSHEET_ID = '1cuT66AD3TBQ-1IWCisB0pUPzlw-iOuuU7vO2TqRj3bQ' #control seguimiento robot
WORKSHEET_NAME = 'PRUEBAS DAVID cambio estado TAS'

async def leerGoogleSheet():
    creds = None
   
    if os.path.exists('token.pickle'):
        with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token:
            creds = pickle.load(token)
    
    if not creds or not creds.valid:
        if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
            creds.refresh(Request())
        else:
            # pass
            flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
                'client_secret.json', SCOPES)
            creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)

        with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as token:
            pickle.dump(creds, token)

    service = build('sheets', 'v4', credentials=creds)

    sheet = service.spreadsheets()
    result = sheet.values().get(spreadsheetId=SPREADSHEET_ID,
                                range=WORKSHEET_NAME).execute()
    values = result.get('values', [])

    print('result: ' + str(result))
    print('range: ' + str(range))

    print('values: ' + str(result['values']))
   
    print('WO: ' + str(result['values'][1][1]))
   
    if not values:
        print('No data found.')
        print(traceback)
    else:
       
        losDatos = []
       
        for row in range(1, len(values)):
            # print('num_fila:' +str(num_fila))
        
            if 'TAS' in values[row][0]:
                if values[row][11] == 'Pendiente':
                    try:
                        if values[row][12]:
                            print('ya tiene valor OK')
                            pass
                    except:
                        print('Hay TAS')
                        datos = []
                        datos.append(values[row][0]) #tas
                        datos.append(values[row][1]) #wo
                        datos.append(row)

                        losDatos.append(datos)
                        await escribirEnSheet(service, row)

            else:
                print('No hay TAS')

        print(losDatos)


    #CAMBIAR ESTADO

    
async def escribirEnSheet(service, row):
    range_ = 'M'+str(row) 
        
    value_input_option = 'RAW'  # TODO: Update placeholder value.

    values = ['OK']
    value_range_body = {'values': values,
    'majorDimension' : 'COLUMNS'}

    print('voy a hacer la request para escribir')
   
    request = service.spreadsheets().values().update(spreadsheetId=SPREADSHEET_ID, range=range_, valueInputOption=value_input_option, body=value_range_body)
    response = request.execute()
    print('ya he escrito')

And this is the error I got:

googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1cuT66AD3TBQ-1IWCisB0pUPzlw-iOuuU7vO2TqRj3bQ/values/M2?valueInputOption=RAW&alt=
json returned "Invalid value at 'data.values' (type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.ListValue), "OK"". Details: "[{'@type': 'type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest', 'fieldViolations': [{'f
ield': 'data.values', 'description': 'Invalid value at \'data.values\' (type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.ListValue), "OK"'}]}]">

The error is in this line,

value_range_body = {'values': values,
    'majorDimension' : 'COLUMNS'}

tried different 'configurations' don't know how to fix it, it looks fine.

Thanks in advance!

How about this modification?

In this case, please use 2 dimensional array for values. I think that the reason of your error message is due to this. So please modify as follows ans test it again.

From:

values = ['OK']

To:

values = [['OK']]
