It models spreadsheets as intuitive objects\u2014spreadsheet, worksheet, cell, and data range\u2014so you can open sheets by title or key, update cell values and formatting, create named ranges, apply conditional formatting, and share sheets with others using straightforward method calls.\n\nThe library is useful for automation tasks like syncing data between Python and Google Sheets, bulk updates, or building tools that treat Sheets as a lightweight database. It supports batch operations, cell formatting, data validation, and can integrate with pandas DataFrames. However, maintenance is aging; the latest release was in 2022, so expect infrequent updates and potential compatibility gaps with newer Google API changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to automate Google Sheets workflows and are comfortable with aging maintenance. The library is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive MIT license. However, be aware that updates are infrequent (last release 2022); if Google's API changes significantly or you need cutting-edge features, you may need to fork or seek an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"pygsheets","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygsheets","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygsheets.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pygsheets/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-11-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pygsheets","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Google Spreadsheets Python API v4"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2521153,"position":3023,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.6"}
