Using getBatchGet, batchCreateContacts, batchDeleteContacts, batchUpdateContacts of People API with Google Apps Script

Gists These are the sample scripts for using getBatchGet, batchUpdateContacts, batchDeleteContacts, batchCreateContacts of People API with Google Apps Script. When the data is retrieved and put with People API, the process cost can be reduced by using batch requests. Fortunately, in the current stage, People API has native methods for using batch requests. Those are getBatchGet, batchCreateContacts, batchDeleteContacts, and batchUpdateContacts. In this post, I would like to introduce the sample scripts for using the batch requests of People API.

Putting Multiple Hyperlinks to a Cell using Sheets API with Google Apps Script and Node.js

Gists I have submitted a report of “Workaround: Putting Multiple Hyperlinks to a Cell using Sheets API” before. At that time, there are no direct methods for setting multiple hyperlinks to the part of text in a cell. But, recently, textFormatRuns was added to Sheets API. By this, multiple hyperlinks got to be able to be set to the part of text in a cell. In this report, I would like to introduce a sample script for this.
