Please help, raise SpreadsheetNotFound gspread

[PLearner]

Hi,

I have done everything I can think of and have looked at issues #256, #224, and #226 but even still I get raise Spreadsheetnotfound error. I have shared the google sheet with the client email. Can someone please provide assistance/insights on this dilemma.

import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']

client_email = 'gserviceaccount.com'

private_key = ("-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY---\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n")

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('38b344c.json',scope)

gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)

wks = gc.open("Simple_Data").sheet1

print wks

Have you tried an absolute path to your credentials file

[arita37]

Have same issues...

@keliomer I think the path to the file is fine otherwise, the exception would be different.

@PLearner does the issue still persists? Try to call gc.openall() and share what it returns.

[cyberkurumin]

Same issue here, gc.openall() returns un empty list.

This looks like that there's a problem with sharing the spreadsheet with a client_email. I'd suggest starting from scratch with steps in http://gspread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2.html

A Very Important Note from here : [https://docs.gspread.org/en/latest/oauth2.html#enable-api-access]

Very important! Go to your spreadsheet and share it with a client_email from the step above. Just like you do with any other Google account.
If you don’t do this, you’ll get a gspread.exceptions.SpreadsheetNotFound exception when trying to access this spreadsheet from your application or a script.

This means that you need to share the spreadsheet (by opening the spreadsheet and then clicking on the share button and then just paste the email id) with the "client_email" mail id which is provided in the JSON file that you got from google developer console

eg:

  "private_key_id": "8ct0ad00e3e59d49a576012cb515ea89e4e49cc4",

if this is your JSON file then you need to copy the client_email that is
cybor@speedy-octane-313216.iam.gserviceaccount.com and then share your sheets to this email id.
