I'm trying to find a link which allows me to download a CSV formatted version of my Google Spreadsheet. Currently I'm using:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/DOCID/export?format=csv
This works great except that it only download the first Sheet. My document has multiple sheets. Does anyone know how to format this link so that it downloads either all the sheets or a specific sheet? Something like:
&sheet=all
or
&sheet=3
Every document in Google Sheets supports the "Chart Tools datasource protocol", which is explained (in a rather haphazard way) in these articles:
To download a specific sheet as a CSV file, replace {key} with the document's ID and {sheet_name} with the name of the sheet to export:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{key}/gviz/tq?tqx=out:csv&sheet={sheet_name}
The datasource protocol is quite flexible. Various other options include:
Response Format: Options include tqx=out:csv (CSV format), tqx=out:html (HTML table), and tqx=out:json (JSON data).
Export part of a sheet: Supply the range={range} option, where the range can be any valid range specifier, e.g. A1:C99 or B2:F.
Execute a SQL query: Supply the tq={query} option, such as tq=SELECT a, b, (d+e)*2 WHERE c < 100 AND x = 'yes'.
Export textual data: Supply the headers=0 option in case your fields contain textual data, otherwise they might be cut out during export.
GET https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/worksheets/{fileId}/private/full and you'll need to OAuth unless the spreadsheet is public.
csv format, all blank rows are omitted (even if later rows have contents); when requesting the tsv-excel format, JSON is sent instead.

It will look something like this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/KEY/export?format=csv&id=KEY&gid=SHEET_ID
Note, the "gid" parameter is the sheet ID, which you can find at the end of the URL of the open Google sheet. Reference: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/guides/concepts#sheet_id
id param, like this: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/KEY/…
This is a sample csv data can be downloaded. Download link for this data was made like this
curl? In the browser it gives me a proper CSV file, Terminal gets a 'Temporary Redirect'.
As of November 2020, the most elegant and simplest solution seems to be buried in @jrc's reply:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/KEY/export?format=csv&gid=SHEET_ID
Here's a live example; given the Google Sheet that has a KEY of 1CTgM1g_aYoWFFpHU6A_qyqWGH0ulCFhs67uAcRVf1Rw
i.e: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CTgM1g_aYoWFFpHU6A_qyqWGH0ulCFhs67uAcRVf1Rw
To get the permalink to a CSV export of its first sheet (i.e. gid=0), append: /export?format=csv&gid=0:
Note: if you're just exporting the first sheet, i.e. gid=0, then the URL is the same as the URL format posited in the original question, i.e.
(by default, the endpoint will assume gid=0 if it's left unspecified)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/DOCID/export?format=csv
2021 update... Question has been well answered in another post. I'll add some things to look out for ...
On the "publish to web" there are:
I've developed an handy python command line application called google-sheets-to-csv few month ago: https://pypi.org/project/google-sheets-to-csv/ which allow to download multiple sheets at once.
Basic usage on linux (probably works on windows as well, I haven't test):
pip install google-sheets-to-csv
gs-to-csv <spreadsheet ID> <sheet selector (regex)> <output directory>
where:
<Spreadshhet ID>: is the weird data in the url https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d//<sheet selector (regex)>: is a regular expression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression<output directory> is an existing directory on your file systemTo download all the sheets at once you can do:
mkdir output/
gs-to-csv DOCID ".*" output/
You'll find one file per sheet.
Do not miss details in the project README ( regarding authentification the current published token is not yet validated by google you'll get an authentification warning like in this video used for the validation process: https://youtu.be/7zacMyv_ooU?t=73) If are afraid you can read the code here https://gitlab.com/micro-entreprise/google-sheets-to-csv (it's Open source software!) or use a google service account.
The following URL format (as a template string) is the only one that worked from me:
`https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/${id}/pub?output=csv&id=${id}&gid=${gid}`
This assumes the entire document has been published to the web.
Follow following code to download as excel
import gspread
import requests
import openpyxl
from io import BytesIO
google_credentials_file_path = "<<credential-json-from-google-console>>"
import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
import pandas as pd
from openpyxl import Workbook
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(google_credentials_file_path, scope)
client = gspread.authorize(creds)
access_token = client.auth.token
#GET your google sheet as openpyxl sheet
sheets = client.open_by_url('https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/'+spreadsheetID+'/edit?usp=sharing')
worksheet = sheets.worksheet("sheetname")
#OR DOWNLOAD WITH CURL
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/"+spreadsheetID+"/export?mimeType=application%2Fvnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"
res = requests.get(url, headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + str(access_token)})
book = openpyxl.load_workbook(filename=BytesIO(res.content), data_only=False)
book.save("yourname.xlsx")
#in order to have authorization in google sheet to download copy the user name which you have created in credentials in console
. Pick the value in email column and paste in share of your google sheet.
