Google Slides API update table background color - python-3.x

Question

basically I have table (8 rows x 3 columns) within the Google slides presentation, that I want to change background color to via the API.
First item of my list of rgb color values:
cons_data_lst[0][1][-1]
>>> [0.5882353, 0.7764706, 0.4862745]
My function to produce a request body:
def update_table_cell_colors(color_list):
req = [{
'updateTableCellProperties':{
'objectId': 'obj_id',
'tableRange': {
'location': {
'rowIndex': 1,
'columnIndex': 2,
},
'rowSpan': 1,
'columnSpan': 1,
},
'tableCellProperties':{
'tableCellBackgrounFill':{
'solidFill':{
'color':{
'rgbColor':{
'red': color_list[0],
'green': color_list[1],
'blue': color_list[2],
}
}
}}
}}} ]
return req
When I send batch update to presentation I receive the following error:
HttpError: https://slides.googleapis.com/v1/presentations/1dzxYYPuqTM3VhwaR93Ep2jj_9Y2NCkSBsVBnmN6lcOs:batchUpdate?alt=json
returned "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name
"table_cell_backgroun_fill" at
'requests[0].update_table_cell_properties.table_cell_properties':

'description': 'Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name

\'requests[0].update_table_cell_properties.table_cell_properties\':

Given a list of different rgb color values, how can I create a request body to update all columns (1 to 2) row (there are 8) text background color ?
Thank you.

Answer 1

How about this answer?
A1:
In this section, it explains about the reason of the error.
Modification points:
From the error message of Unknown name "table_cell_backgroun_fill" at 'requests[0].update_table_cell_properties.table_cell_properties', it is found that the property name of tableCellBackgrounFill is a spelling mistake. Please modify to tableCellBackgroundFill.
At updateTableCellProperties, the property of fields is required to be used. In your case, how about adding "fields": "tableCellBackgroundFill"? You can also use 'fields': '*'.
When these modifications are reflected to your request body, it becomes as follows.
Modified request body:
req = [
{
'updateTableCellProperties': {
'objectId': 'obj_id',
'tableRange': {
'location': {
'rowIndex': 1,
'columnIndex': 2
},
'rowSpan': 1,
'columnSpan': 1
},
'tableCellProperties': {
'tableCellBackgroundFill': { # Modified
'solidFill': {
'color': {
'rgbColor': {
'red': color_list[0],
'green': color_list[1],
'blue': color_list[2],
}
}
}
}
},
'fields': 'tableCellBackgroundFill' # Added
}
}
]
Before you use this script, please check the variables of color_list and 'obj_id',

In this section, it explains about the question 2 of Given a list of different rgb color values, how can I create a request body to update all columns (1 to 2) row (there are 8) text background color ?.
In your question, you say I have table (8 rows x 3 columns) at the top of your question. But at Given a list of different rgb color values, how can I create a request body to update all columns (1 to 2) row (there are 8) text background color ?, you say columns (1 to 2). I'm confused about this. So I would like to suppose as follows.
Your table has 8 rows and 2 columns.
You want to change the background color of all columns and rows with one color.
The sample request body is as follows.
Sample request body:
req = [
{
"updateTableCellProperties":
{
"objectId": "obj_id",
"tableRange":
{
"location":
{
"rowIndex": 0,
"columnIndex": 0
},
"rowSpan": 8,
"columnSpan": 2
},
"tableCellProperties":
{
"tableCellBackgroundFill":
{
"solidFill":
{
"color":
{
"rgbColor":
{
"red": color_list[0],
"green": color_list[1],
"blue": color_list[2]
}
}
}
}
},
"fields": "tableCellBackgroundFill"
}
}
]
rowIndex and columnIndex are the start cell.
"rowIndex": 0 and "columnIndex": 0 means the cell "A1".
rowSpan and columnSpan are the number of rows and columns.
"rowSpan": 8 and "columnSpan": 2 means 8 rows and 2 columns. By this, the background colors of cells "A1:B8" are changed.
If your table is 8 rows and 3 columns, and you want to change all cells, please set them as follows.
"rowIndex": 0, "columnIndex": 0 and "rowSpan": 8, "columnSpan": 3
If you want to change the special background color every cell, it is required to create the array of request body for each cell. Please be careful this.
Note:
This answer supposes that you have already been able to put and get values for Google Slides using Slides API.
