Python Google Sheets API v4: How to do Batch Get and Batch Update Google sheets?

Question

Google Sheets API v4:

Python Quickstart shows how to get data from a Google Spreadsheet:

result = service.spreadsheets().values()
         .get(spreadsheetId=spreadsheetId, range=rangeName).execute()
values = result.get('values', [])

See https://developers.google.com/sheets/quickstart/python

Now, I have resolved the syntax for Batch Get:

I have tried the following but get null for 'values':

rangeName = ["Class Data!A2:E2","Class Data!A3:E3"]
result = service.spreadsheets().values().batchGet(
         spreadsheetId=spreadsheetId, ranges=(rangeName)).execute()
for r in result['valueRanges']:
    print (r.values()[0],r.values()[1])

Answer 1

I'm not good with python but I met same problem with java client and hope this solution will help. I tried to load ranges only with

service.spreadsheets().values().batchGet
                        (spreadsheetID).execute();

as documentation said, but there was no results. When I found a way - to make batchGet you should specify list of ranges which you want to get from spreadsheet. Please, make a note to this setRange() invokaion:

final ArrayList<String> RANGES = new ArrayList<>();
        RANGES.add("Sheet1");
        RANGES.add("Sheet2");
BatchGetValuesResponse response = service.spreadsheets().values().batchGet
                    (spreadsheetID).setRanges(RANGES).execute();

Answer 2

If anyone finds this on Google, the answer is (like NoisyFlasher implied with that Java example, and like the OP was on the track to) to simply provide the ranges as a Python list. However, the result is a dict, not objects:

rangeName = ["Class Data!A2:E2","Class Data!A3:E3"]
result = service.spreadsheets().values().batchGet(
         spreadsheetId=spreadsheetId, ranges=rangeName).execute()
for r in result['valueRanges']:
    print (r['values'])
