python scripts/sheets.py update-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:B2" '[["Hello","World"],["Foo","Bar"]]'

# Update with RAW input (no formula parsing, treats everything as literal text)
python scripts/sheets.py update-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:B1" '[["=SUM(A1:A5)","text"]]' --raw

# Append rows after the last data row
python scripts/sheets.py append-rows SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A:Z" '[["New Row Col A","New Row Col B"]]'

python scripts/sheets.py clear-range SPREADSHEET_ID "Sheet1!A1:B10"

python scripts/sheets.py batch-update SPREADSHEET_ID '[{"updateCells":{"range":{"sheetId":0},"fields":"userEnteredValue"}}]'

Spreadsheet ID

You can use either:
  • The spreadsheet ID: 
    1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms
  • The full URL: 
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms/edit
The script automatically extracts the ID from URLs.
