Does this still work?

I have a test spreadsheet here. It's set to public link view shared.

when I run this simple code:

var GoogleSpreadsheets = require("google-spreadsheets");

GoogleSpreadsheets({
    key: '15XaE_P3WS_1fNahoJtrZfXKV3E2LPeGdoY2syspdm9M'
}, function(err, spreadsheet) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        process.exit(1);
        return;
    }

    spreadsheet.worksheets[0].cells({
        range: "A2:C"
    }, function(err, cells) {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
            process.exit(1);
            return;
        }
        console.log(cells);
    });
});

I get this error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'title' of undefined

Am I doing it wrong, or does this library not work with google drive, anymore?

As per the README, did you make sure the spreadsheet is both published to the web and publicly viewable? This is done in two separate areas of the spreadsheets UI.

[konsumer]

Ah, that did it. That seems like a lil bit obtuse to me. If you have access to the URL (and the content) why do you need to also publish it (make it available on indexes)?

@konsumer no clue, it's just the way it is ;) If you authenticate the client (as per the README), then the weird subtleties pretty much go away entirely.

Cool. I will try it out. Thanks.
