This is a sample script for achieving the resumable download of a file from Google Drive using Dive API with Python.

There might be a case in that you want to achieve the resumable download of a file from Google Drive using Dive API with Python. For example, when a large file is downloaded, the downloading might be stopped in the middle of downloading. At that time, you might want to resume the download. In this post, I would like to introduce the sample script of python.

When Google APIs are used with googleapis for Python, the client is obtained as follows.

creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(service_account_credential_file, scopes=scopes)
service = build("drive", "v3", credentials=creds)

In this case, when the script is run, the access token is retrieved every time. But, the expiration time of the retrieved access token is 1 hour. Here, there might be the case that you want to use the access token until the expiration time. It is considered that effectively using the access token will lead to SDGs. In this post, I would like to introduce a sample script for using the access token until the expiration time.

Today, I discussed with Riël Notermans an issue with the HTML form with the input tab of type="file" with google.script.run. Through this discussion, the reason for this issue could be found. When you use the input tab of type="file" in the HTML form, and you want to send the file content with google.script.run, I thought that this post might be useful for other users. So, I posted it here.

This is a sample script for retrieving the access token from the service account using oauth2client and google-auth with Python.

Sample script 1

Use oauth2client.

from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = "credentials.json"
SCOPES = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]

creds = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
res = creds.get_access_token()
access_token = res.access_token

print(access_token)

Sample script 2

Use google-auth. In the current stage, this method might be general.

from google.oauth2 import service_account
import google.auth.transport.requests

SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = "credentials.json"
SCOPES = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]

creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
request = google.auth.transport.requests.Request()
creds.refresh(request)
access_token = creds.token

print(access_token)

This sample script decrypts the salted base64 data of finance.yahoo.com using Google Apps Script.

Recently, it seems that the specification of the key for decrypting the data has been changed on the server side, again. In this update, I looked for the logic for retrieving the key value. But, I cannot still find it. So, in this post, I would like to use a workaround discussed in this thread. In this thread, the valid keys are listed in a text file. Using this, I updated the script as follows.

This is a sample script for putting the values of all Spreadsheets in a folder to the master Spreadsheet with a low process cost using Google Apps Script.

There is a case in that I want to collect the values from multiple Spreadsheets and put the values into the master Spreadsheet. When this situation is achieved by Google Apps Script, as the general method, the values are required to be retrieved from each Spreadsheet in a loop. In the current stage, even when Sheets API is used, the values cannot be retrieved from multiple Spreadsheets by one API call. In this report, I would like to introduce the method for achieving this with the low process cost using Google Apps Script.

This is a workaround for retrieving the hyperlink from the cell of a number value using Google Apps Script.

As a sample situation, it supposes that a cell “A1” has a number value like 123, and a hyperlink of https://tanaikech.github.io is set to the cell. In order to retrieve the hyperlink from the cell, it is required to use the methods of getRichTextValue() and getRichTextValues(). But, in the current stage, when the cell value is a number value, when the RichText is retrieved by getRichTextValue(), null is returned. By this, unfortunately, the hyperlink of the cell cannot be retrieved. This has already been reported in the Google issue tracker. Ref
