  );

  # find a spreadsheet by title
  my $spreadsheet_by_title = $service->spreadsheet(

DESCRIPTION

Net::Google::Spreadsheets is a Perl module for using Google Spreadsheets API.

METHODS

new

Creates Google Spreadsheet API client. It takes arguments below:

  • username

    Username for Google. This should be full email address format like 'mygoogleaccount@example.com'.

  • password

    Password corresponding to the username.

  • source

    Source string to pass to Net::Google::AuthSub.

spreadsheets(\%condition)

  • title

    title of the spreadsheet.

  • title-exact

    whether title search should match exactly or not.

spreadsheet(\%condition)

Returns first item of spreadsheets(\%condition) if available.

AUTHORIZATIONS

you can optionally pass auth object argument when initializing Net::Google::Spreadsheets instance.

If you want to use AuthSub mechanism, make Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::AuthSub object and path it to the constructor:

  my $authsub = Net::Google::AuthSub->new;
  $authsub->auth(undef, $session_token);

  my $service = Net::Google::Spreadsheet->new(
    auth => $authsub
  );

In OAuth case, like this:

  my $oauth = Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth->new(
    consumer_key => 'consumer.example.com',
    consumer_secret => 'mys3cr3t',
    callback => 'http://consumer.example.com/callback',
  );
  $oauth->get_request_token;
  my $url = $oauth->get_authorize_token_url;
  # show the url to the user and get the $verifier value
  $oauth->get_access_token({verifier => $verifier});
  my $service = Net::Google::Spreadsheet->new(
    auth => $oauth
  );

TESTING

To test this module, you have to prepare as below.

  • create a spreadsheet by hand

    Go to http://docs.google.com and create a spreadsheet.

  • set SPREADSHEET_TITLE environment variable

      export SPREADSHEET_TITLE='my test spreadsheet'

    or so.

  • set username and password for google.com via Config::Pit

    install Config::Pit and type

      ppit set google.com

    then some editor comes up and type your username and password like

      ---
      username: myname@gmail.com
      password: foobarbaz

    as always,

      perl Makefile.PL
      make
      make test
