	import getpass
	import csv
	
	email = "" # (your email here)
	password = getpass.getpass()
	spreadsheet_id = "" # (spreadsheet id here)

	# Create client and spreadsheet objects
	gs = Client(email, password)
	ss = Spreadsheet(spreadsheet_id)
	
	# Request a file-like object containing the spreadsheet's contents
	csv_file = gs.download(ss)
	
	# Parse as CSV and print the rows
	for row in csv.reader(csv_file):
		print ", ".join(row)

How do you get this to correctly write into a csv. I'm getting all of my columns in Column A with commas separating them.

hi urllib is not currently available so please give the same code for urllib3 as many function unsupporting

@shyamskcetlib google do not support this authentification processus any more you could use or get inspiration from google-sheets-to-csv python package

I have authorization to view and download the spreadsheet manually (It is public). So i do not want to log in. How can i just download it?

@4lparslan as explain here you can use wget to test direct download with your sheet id then adapt with you programming language and favorite http library !
