This sample script retrieves the user information which is editing the shared spreadsheet.

It was found as follows.

• User information retrieving by Class Session is the owner and users which installed triggers by themselves.
• When each user installs a trigger, user information retrieving by Class Session losts the accuracy. So user information has to be retrieved using a temporally installed trigger.
• Using onOpen(), it cannot directly install triggers and authorize.
• Using menu bar, it can install triggers and authorize Google Services using API.

Here, I thought 2 problems.

Overview

This is a CLI tool to search for images with Google Reverse Image Search.

Motivation

Because I had wanted to search for images with an image URL and file on my terminal, I created this. This can download images from searched image URLs.

The detail information and how to get this are https://github.com/tanaikech/goris.

Overview

This is a CLI tool to execute Google Apps Script (GAS) on a terminal.

Motivation

Will you want to develop GAS using CoffeeScript on your local PC? Generally, when we develop GAS, we have to login to Google using own browser and develop it using Javascript on the Script Editor. Recently, I have wanted to have more convenient local-environment for developing GAS. So I created this “ggsrun”.

This sample script converts a spreadsheet to excel file, and overwrites the excel file to the existing excel file. When you use this script, at first, please confirm whether Drive API is enabled at Google API console. Because the existing excel file is overwritten, the file name and file ID are not changed.

function overWrite(src_spreadsheetId, dst_excelfileId) {
  var accesstoken = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
  return UrlFetchApp.fetch(
    "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files/" +
    dst_excelfileId +
    "?uploadType=multipart",
    {
      method: "PATCH",
      headers: {Authorization: "Bearer " + accesstoken},
      contentType: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
      payload: function(a, s) {
        return UrlFetchApp.fetch(
          "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/" +
          s +
          "/export?mimeType=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
          {
            method: "GET",
            headers: {Authorization: "Bearer " + a},
            muteHttpExceptions: true
          }
        ).getBlob().getBytes();
      }(accesstoken, src_spreadsheetId)
    }
  ).getContentText();
}

Converting Spreadsheet to PDF

This sample script converts from a spreadsheet to a PDF file which has all sheets in the spreadsheet. When you use this, please enable Drive API at Google API console.

var spreadsheetId = "#####";
var folderId = "#####";
var outputFilename = "#####";

DriveApp.getFolderById(folderId)
    .createFile(UrlFetchApp.fetch(
      "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/" +
        spreadsheetId +
        "/export?mimeType=application/pdf",
      {
        method: "GET",
        headers: {Authorization: "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()},
        muteHttpExceptions: true
      })
    .getBlob())
    .setName(outputFilename);

gogauth is a CLI tool to retrieve easily access token for using APIs on Google.

Today, it was updated with big changes. Please check it out.

Recently, I had been looking for creating an image from coordinate data. Unfortunately I have never found them. So I made this. This Google Apps Script (GAS) library creates an image file from coordinate data.

You can see the detail information at https://github.com/tanaikech/CreateImg.

There is a part where I would like to improve in this library. That’s convByteSlice(). I think that there is the method to be faster about the part. If you know much about the logical operation using GAS, if you teach me about the improvements. I’m so glad.

Here, I would like to introduce a comprehension of GAS.

Input :

var data = [[[0], [1], [2], [3]], [[4], [5], [6], [7]]];

Output :

[[0.0, 2.0], [0.0, 2.0]]

Pattern 1

var a = [];
for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
  var temp = [];
  for (var j=0; j<data[i].length; j++) {
    if (data[i][j][0] % 2 == 0) temp.push(j);
  }
  a.push(temp);
}
Logger.log(a)

Pattern 2

var b = [];
data.forEach(function(e1){
  var temp = [];
  e1.forEach(function(e2, i2){
    if (e2[0] % 2 == 0) temp.push(parseInt(i2, 10));
  });
  b.push(temp);
});
Logger.log(b)

Pattern 3

var c = [[parseInt(i, 10) for (i in e) if (e[i][0] % 2 == 0)] for each (e in data)];
Logger.log(c)

GAS can use JavaScript 1.7. So it can write as above.

These scripts can be executed on Script Editor. But, in order to use these, you have to enable Drive API of Advanced Google services and of Google API Console. “Drive API v2” can be used at Google Apps Script by enabling Drive API of Advanced Google services and of Google API Console.

How to use it is as follows.

1. In the script editor, select Resources > Advanced Google services

2. In the dialog that appears, click the on/off switch for Drive API v2.

This is a sample GAS script to create an Excel file, which was downloaded from web, as Spreadsheet. By using Drive API, it can be achieved without access token.

Script :

function downloadFile(fileURL, folder) {
  var filename = fileURL.match(".+/(.+?)([\?#;].*)?$")[1];
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(fileURL);
  var rc = response.getResponseCode();
  var blob = response.getBlob();
  var resource = {
    "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet",
    "parents": [{id: folder}],
    "title": filename
  };
  var res = Drive.Files.insert(resource, blob);
  var fileInfo = [rc, res.title, blob.getBytes().length, res.id];
  return fileInfo;
}

Result :

[
    200,
    sample.xlsx,
    10000.0,
    ## file id ##
]
