Are Google Sheets "easily machine-readable"? I've tried to add support for it to my application, and I could not get it to work at all. Maybe it's technically possible but it's sure not easy. You need to use Google's proprietary APIs, and the documentation and support are terrible.


I've pulled some data from a sheet into a python notebook by copy-pasting some code I've found. Sure, these are proprietary APIs, but how else would you talk to a proprietary web service?

Disclaimer: despite working for Google, I don't know that much about the suite.
