The URL that should display a Google Sheet data in JSON format shows internal error - laravel

Question

I want to convert the data of a Google Sheet into JSON format so that I can use it on my website. However, I get a 500 error whenever the website tries to fetch the JSON file.
I have already tried different methods to convert my sheet into JSON that are available on the internet
$url = 'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1dpmzzKNR8hRILX6qMD0KTruxxXYT3UAXR0EcX0zS0dE/1/public/full?alt=json';
$file= file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($file);
$rows = $json->{'feed'}->{'entry'};
return $rows;

Answer 1

I had the same problem; I was able to work around the problem by parsing the html from the pubhtml page directly to output a similar JSON format:
Instead of using the Google Sheet ID, use the link for "Publish to Webpage".
There are some rows that I skip since some are for frozen rows, but you should be able to modify the code to your needs.
function importGoogleSheets(publishedUrl, sheetId, onSuccess, onError) {
var headers = [];
var rows;
$.ajax({
url: publishedUrl+'?gid='+sheetId+'&single=true',
success: function(data) {
data = $.parseHTML(data)[5];
htmldata = data;
rows = data.getElementsByTagName('tr');
for (var i = 0; i < rows[1].cells.length; i++) {
headers[i] = 'gsx$' + rows[1].cells[i].textContent.toLowerCase().replace(/[^0-9a-z]*/g, '');
}
for (var i = 3; i < rows.length; i++) {
temp = {};
for (var h = 1; h < headers.length; h++) {
temp[headers[h]] = {'$t': rows[i].cells[h].textContent};
}
all_data[i - 3] = temp;
}
onSuccess(all_data);
},
error: function(data) {
onError(data);
}
});
}
One note though is that it includes any empty rows unlike the feed, so you may want to filter the ouptut based on some column.
