I am trying to access a spreadsheet from python using gspread, but keep getting an attribute error.
open_by_url() and open() also don't work, they give an attribute error and say gspread doesn't have that module. I reinstalled gspread v3.6.0 twice, but that didn't do anything. The docs for opening a spreadsheet are at the gspread docs.
open_by_url()
open()
Make sure you follow the Authentication of gspread here. Once the auth is complete, you can verify it by using python's built in function dir.
Example:
Service account:
import gspread gc = gspread.service_account() print(dir(gc))
OAuth
import gspread gc = gspread.oauth() print(dir(gc))
You should see the method open and open_by_url
You can either use Service Account or OAuth to access your spreadsheet.
Follow these steps for:
Service account - https://gspread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2.html#for-bots-using-service-account
OAuth - https://gspread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2.html#for-end-users-using-oauth-client-id
