i am doing an app with the google drive api, the finall step is to stake a bunch of data and append it to a existing spreadsheet, the problem is that when i append a row it is writed in the "A1" cell and it need to be writed in the following blank row e.i, not rewriting on the old data instead it have to write to a new blank cell
You should look into sheets api instead, specifically spreadsheets.values.append.
Given the above, spreadsheets.values.append request will add new row/s of values after starting with row 3.
Detailed documentation should be here.
Behavior and sample output of spreadsheets.values.append pasted above is discussed here.

I have been researching this for a while but am coming up with nothing. I have a process take data from a dataframe and add it to a Google Sheet starting on a specific cell (ex B3). The sheet is templated with columns that have formulas in the middle of the output and I have blank columns in the dataframe to match their position. I want to paste the values as "paste as formulas" Google Sheet paste option to not overwrite any data.
After doing a lot of research I think my two options are break the dataframe into two separate dfs to not override the formulas and add them into on each side of the columns that have formulas.
The second is to create a tab, add the data to this tab, then copy and paste as values using the sheets api.
Not sure if there is a way to do this all at once. Just wondering if this is possible and I am missing arguments in some functions somewhere that allow this.
I tried to do google trends api in python. In result i see date and keyword columns. When I tried to write this data to Google sheets, my first column (which is date) is skipped. How can I fix that?
I am new in python, ı am open all suggestions :)
I've used pandas and made a data frame which includes my google trends data. But it skipped my first column. I was expecting write all the data to google sheets.
I am fetching daily order book and profit/loss data using broker API and feeding them using python with the help of Gspread library.
Following code, I am using to feed fetched order book data from broker into google sheet.
wkob.update('A2',[obdf.columns.values.tolist()] + obdf.values.tolist())
I have to run this python daily using Windows Schduler but each time I am running python file data has been over written on existing one in Googlesheet. I used following code to fetech existing value of available data on sheet but dont know how to use this value to add fresh data next row of existing one. Please help regarding this.
len(wkpnl.get_all_values())
Auto update fresh value after previously updated data in google sheet using python.

In your script, how about the following modification?
From:
wkob.update('A2',[obdf.columns.values.tolist()] + obdf.values.tolist())
To:
wkob.append_rows([obdf.columns.values.tolist()] + obdf.values.tolist(), value_input_option="USER_ENTERED")
By this modification, the values are appended to the sheet.
If you want to put only the values, how about the following modification?
wkob.append_rows(obdf.values.tolist(), value_input_option="USER_ENTERED")

append_rows
I have a google sheet connect to a google form. The form is compiled by team leaders with his members and some informations that are reported in a row by google.
I need to make another sheet with all data from members in a single column.
I won't copy and paste 'cause there are more than 50 leaders and thousand of members and the real problem is that some rows are full and some, considering that not all teams are made up of the same number of members, are half empty.
What is the fastest way to complite the sheet?
I need something like:
Rows from google sheet
[Team1; Bob, data; Rob, data]
[Team2; Rose, data; Mark, data; Jenny, data]
Result that I want:
[
[Bob, data],
[Rob, data],
[Rose, data],
[Mark, data],
[Jenny, data],
]
If there's no way to do it internally to Google Sheet can I use python and think to google sheet like a matrix?
You CAN do it internally using Google Apps Script. This allows users to make custom functions and code in JavaScript which can make changes to sheets in Google Sheets or get info based on what code you write.
Here is the link for the Apps Script documentation which is quite well written.
You will basically need to create 2 sheets, write a function to extract the cells you want from each row, and then input that data into the second sheet. You do not need to be very well versed in JavaScript to do this, I myself am not adept at Javascript however I am able to make functions as per my need.
Also some advice, please test it with a sample sheet first so that you do not delete data or make errors.
I found some information here about updating several cells at once using the python gdata library.
However, the example code refers to cells based on a single index, for instance updating only the first entry of the spreadsheet:
batchRequest = gdata.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetsCellsFeed()
cells.entry[0].cell.inputValue = 'x'
batchRequest.AddUpdate(cells.entry[0])
Suppose I want to update specific cells knowing their location, e.g. R1C3 and R2C2. How would I go about doing this? In other words, what do I replace cells.entry[0] with to access a specific row and column?
This related answer would be promising, except all the links are dead.
