It reads spreadsheets into DataFrames and writes DataFrames back to sheets, automatically handling headers, multi-level indexes, merged cells, and frozen rows. The package targets data analysts and scientists but works for anyone automating workflows between Google Sheets and Python.\n\nKey features include automatic type inference (convert_types), layout detection for sheets with titles or blank rows (detect_layout), and intelligent append operations that match DataFrame columns to existing sheet headers by name rather than position. Optional AI-powered matching via OpenAI-compatible endpoints can handle column renames and stacked headers when configured. The package handles token refresh, retries on quota limits, and supports both OAuth and Service Account authentication.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained (last commit 2026-08-13), has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real pain point\u2014bridging Google Sheets and pandas without boilerplate. It supports Python 3.9+, carries a permissive BSD license, and is in production-stable status. Install it if you regularly move data between Google Sheets and pandas."},"id":"gspread-pandas","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gspread-pandas","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gspread-pandas.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gspread-pandas/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gspread-pandas","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A package to easily open an instance of a Google spreadsheet and interact with worksheets through Pandas DataFrames."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":355210,"position":7293,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.2.1"}
