Read, write, and batch-update Google Sheets with direct API access. Supports three helper commands: +read for retrieving values, +append for adding rows, and batchUpdate for applying multiple validated changes atomically Access spreadsheets resource with methods to create, retrieve, and modify sheets, including grid data filtering and developer metadata operations Requires Google Workspace authentication via the shared gws prerequisite; use gws schema to inspect method parameters before building requests Batch operations validate all requests before applying; if any request fails, the entire batch is rejected with no partial changes

  • batchUpdate — Applies one or more updates to the spreadsheet. Each request is validated before being applied. If any request is not valid then the entire request will fail and nothing will be applied. Some requests have replies to give you some information about how they are applied. The replies will mirror the requests. For example, if you applied 4 updates and the 3rd one had a reply, then the response will have 2 empty replies, the actual reply, and another empty reply, in that order.
  • create — Creates a spreadsheet, returning the newly created spreadsheet.
  • get — Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID. By default, data within grids is not returned. You can include grid data in one of 2 ways: * Specify a field mask listing your desired fields using the fields URL parameter in HTTP * Set the includeGridData URL parameter to true.
  • getByDataFilter — Returns the spreadsheet at the given ID. The caller must specify the spreadsheet ID. For more information, see Read, write, and search metadata. This method differs from GetSpreadsheet in that it allows selecting which subsets of spreadsheet data to return by specifying a dataFilters parameter. Multiple DataFilters can be specified.
  • developerMetadata — Operations on the 'developerMetadata' resource
  • sheets — Operations on the 'sheets' resource
  • values — Operations on the 'values' resource

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods

gws sheets --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults

gws schema sheets.<resource>.<method>

Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.
