highest--buffer-linesoption can counter part a bit this limitation.Other solutionsusing wgetShare your spreadsheet using "Anyone with link can view".Then do a wget (or curl) with the download url, you'll find thedocument_idandsheet_idin the url in your browser$wget--output-file="logs.csv""https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/<document_id>/export?format=csv&gid=<sheet_id>"-O"downloaded_content.csv"The data will be in the file: downloaded_content.csvpros:nothing special to installcons:enable share link access on each spreadsheetgetsheet_idfor any sheets you want to downloaduse one command per sheet to exportCreditsLogo is derived fromCSV File by Milinda Courey from the Noun ProjectChangelogMajor version introduce API changeMinor version change behaviourPatch version are about released documentation or refactor
