Google Sheets Plugin for Steampipe

Use SQL to query data from Google Sheets.

Quick start

Install the plugin with Steampipe:

steampipe plugin install googlesheets

Configure your credentials and config file.

Run steampipe:

steampipe query

Query all the sheets in your spreadsheet:

select
  title
from
  googlesheets_sheet;
+-----------+
| title     |
+-----------+
| Marks     |
| Students  |
| Dashboard |
| Books     |
| Employees |
+-----------+

A table is automatically created to represent each sheet mentioned in the configured sheets config argument.

For instance, if using the following configuration:

connection "googlesheets" {
  plugin = "googlesheets"

  # Google Sheets Plugin - Sample School Data
  spreadsheet_id = "11iXfj-RHpFsil7_hNK-oQjCqmBLlDfCvju2AOF-ieb4"
  sheets         = ["Dashboard", "Students", "Books", "Marks", "Employees"]
}

To get details for a specific table, inspect it by name:

.inspect "Students"
+--------------------------+------+-------------+
| column                   | type | description |
+--------------------------+------+-------------+
| Class Level              | text | Field 2.    |
| Extracurricular Activity | text | Field 5.    |
| GPA                      | text | Field 7.    |
| Home State               | text | Field 3.    |
| ID                       | text | Field 1.    |
| Major                    | text | Field 4.    |
| Mentor                   | text | Field 6.    |
| Student Name             | text | Field 0.    |
+--------------------------+------+-------------+

You can query data from the Students sheet using the sheet's column names:

select
  "Student Name",
  "Class Level",
  "GPA"
from
  "Students";
+--------------+-------------+------+
| Student Name | Class Level | GPA  |
+--------------+-------------+------+
| Andrew       | Freshman    | 3.50 |
| Alexandra    | Senior      | 3.20 |
| Karen        | Sophomore   | 3.90 |
| Edward       | Junior      | 3.40 |
| Ellen        | Freshman    | 2.90 |
| Becky        | Sophomore   | 3.10 |
+--------------+-------------+------+

You can also query data from a sheet by cell address:

select
  cell,
  value
from
  googlesheets_cell
where
  sheet_name = 'Students';
+------+--------------+
| cell | value        |
+------+--------------+
| A1   | Student Name |
| A2   | Alexandra    |
| A3   | Andrew       |
| A4   | Anna         |
| A5   | Becky        |
| B1   | ID           |
| B2   | 1            |
| B3   | 2            |
| B4   | 3            |
| B5   | 4            |
+------|--------------+

Engines

This plugin is available for the following engines:

Engine Description
Steampipe The Steampipe CLI exposes APIs and services as a high-performance relational database, giving you the ability to write SQL-based queries to explore dynamic data. Mods extend Steampipe's capabilities with dashboards, reports, and controls built with simple HCL. The Steampipe CLI is a turnkey solution that includes its own Postgres database, plugin management, and mod support.
Postgres FDW Steampipe Postgres FDWs are native Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers that translate APIs to foreign tables. Unlike Steampipe CLI, which ships with its own Postgres server instance, the Steampipe Postgres FDWs can be installed in any supported Postgres database version.
SQLite Extension Steampipe SQLite Extensions provide SQLite virtual tables that translate your queries into API calls, transparently fetching information from your API or service as you request it.
Export Steampipe Plugin Exporters provide a flexible mechanism for exporting information from cloud services and APIs. Each exporter is a stand-alone binary that allows you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.
Turbot Pipes Turbot Pipes is the only intelligence, automation & security platform built specifically for DevOps. Pipes provide hosted Steampipe database instances, shared dashboards, snapshots, and more.

Developing

Prerequisites:

Clone:

git clone https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-googlesheets.git
