Query parameters
| Parameters |
majorDimension |
enum (Dimension)
The major dimension that results should use. For example, if the spreadsheet data in Sheet1 is: A1=1,B1=2,A2=3,B2=4, then requesting range=Sheet1!A1:B2?majorDimension=ROWS returns [[1,2],[3,4]], whereas requesting range=Sheet1!A1:B2?majorDimension=COLUMNS returns [[1,3],[2,4]].
|
valueRenderOption |
enum (ValueRenderOption)
How values should be represented in the output. The default render option is FORMATTED_VALUE.
|
dateTimeRenderOption |
enum (DateTimeRenderOption)
How dates, times, and durations should be represented in the output. This is ignored if valueRenderOption is FORMATTED_VALUE. The default dateTime render option is SERIAL_NUMBER.
|
Request body
The request body must be empty.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains an instance of ValueRange.
