APIs-Explorer + Python + Google Sheets API

Last week we studied a Google browser tool called "APIs Explorer".

I find it useful when I develop Python scripts to interact with Google APIs.

This week we study the Google Sheets API using both the APIs Explorer and Python.

A Google Sheet is a spreadsheet in your browser.

With the API I can manipulate the spreadsheet with Python which elevates the spreadsheet to a much more productive tool.

A Google Sheet can be a complicated thing.

Accordingly, the Google Sheets API contains a large variety of calls.

Studying these calls using BOTH APIs Explorer and Python leads us down a quicker learning path.
