ETag always null when using Google.Apis.Sheets.v4

[marklonquist]

Thanks for stopping by to ask us a question! Please make sure to include:

• What you're trying to do

  • Get the ETag from a Google Sheet spreadsheet

• What code you've already tried

  • var sheet = test.Spreadsheets.Get("1WC7CGN****nw"); sheet.IncludeGridData = false; var sheetResponse = await sheet.ExecuteAsync(); var etag = sheetResponse.ETag;

• Any error messages you're getting

  • No errors, but ETag is ALWAYS null

Am I doing something wrong, or is it supposed to always be null?

Does you see the same thing if you use API Explorer? https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets/get

If you do see the ETag in the response there, but it's not seen in code, that's a bug in the client libraries and we can look into it.

If you don't see the ETag, then I'd suggest going down one of the support routes listed here: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/support

Thanks @jskeet - it seems it isn't there using the API explorer. Will go down the support route 😄

Thanks for confirming. I'll close this issue now, but do add another comment if you end being able to change things in a way which implicates the library, and I'll reopen at that point.
