Accessing spreadsheets without login? #1

Hello,

if I understand correct, there are google-doc spreadsheets which can be pulicly viewed or even edited. How can I access such a spreadsheet without the need to login with this gem?

I don't know way to use Google Spreadsheet API without login, even if the target spreadsheet is public. You still need to log in as someone to access public spreadsheets, as far as I know.

Hi,

This is not true anymore. Spreadsheets can be accessed without login.

Hmm it seems it still doesn't work as far as I tested. Without auth header, I see this error even if the spreadsheet is publicly editable:

./lib/google_spreadsheet.rb:306:in `request': Response code 404 for get https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/worksheets/0AtGfDpQ2pAVUcHo3WHRsUUMtUFl4LWpyVk1KRXJUY2c/private/full: (GoogleSpreadsheet::Error)

Not Found

Error 404

Sorry, I think I misread your previous comment and made a wrong statement about it.
