remove rows from google spreadsheet using ajax only - ajax

Question

i want to remove entire rows from Gsheet using simple jquery my code is:
var arr = {
"deleteDimension": {
"range": {
"sheetId": sheetId,
"dimension": "ROWS",
"startIndex": 276,
"endIndex": 277
}
}
};
$.ajax({
type: 'delete',
headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + auth, 'content-type': 'application/json' },
// data: JSON.stringify(arr),
url: 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/' + sheetId +'/sheetname!A276:A277' ,
success: function (r) {
console.log(r)
;
}, error: function (r) {
console.log(r)
}
});
I think the url or post data param is not correct. any help will appreciate.

Modification points:
In your script, sheetId of range property is the sheet ID. And, at the endpoint, please use Spreadsheet ID.
You can see about Spreadsheet ID and Sheet ID at this official document.
In order to use "deleteDimension", please use "Method: spreadsheets.batchUpdate".
In this case, the POST method is used.
Please use data: JSON.stringify(arr) for including the request body.
When these points are reflected in your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
var spreadsheetId = "###"; // Please set your Spreadsheet ID here.
var sheetId = "###"; // Please set your sheet ID here.
var auth = "###"; // Please set your access token.
var arr = {
"requests": [{
"deleteDimension": {
"range": {
"sheetId": sheetId,
"dimension": "ROWS",
"startIndex": 276,
"endIndex": 277
}
}
}]
};
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + auth, 'content-type': 'application/json' },
data: JSON.stringify(arr),
url: 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/' + spreadsheetId + ':batchUpdate',
success: function (r) {
console.log(r);
}, error: function (r) {
console.log(r);
}
});
When this script is run, row 277 of the sheet of Spreadsheet is deleted using "Method: spreadsheets.batchUpdate".
Note:
This modified script supposes that your access token can be used for using "Method: spreadsheets.batchUpdate". Please be careful about this.
