googlesheets4 (version 0.3.0)

as_sheets_id: Coerce to a sheets_id object

Description

Converts various representations of a Google Sheet into a sheets_id object. Anticipated inputs:

  • Spreadsheet id, "a string containing letters, numbers, and some special characters", typically 44 characters long, in our experience. Example: 1qpyC0XzvTcKT6EISywvqESX3A0MwQoFDE8p-Bll4hps.

  • A URL, from which we can excavate a spreadsheet or file id. Example: "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BzfL0kZUz1TsI5zxJF1WNF01IxvC67FbOJUiiGMZ_mQ/edit#gid=1150108545".

  • A one-row dribble, a "Drive tibble" used by the googledrive package. In general, a dribble can represent several files, one row per file. Since googlesheets4 is not vectorized over spreadsheets, we are only prepared to accept a one-row dribble.

  • Spreadsheet meta data, as returned by, e.g., gs4_get(). Literally, this is an object of class googlesheets4_spreadsheet.

This is a generic function.
