[Feature Suggestion] Multi-Row Append Function

The current append_row function actually works for multiple rows if the square brackets in values: [values] are removed.

So if you copy-paste the function, remove the brackets, and call it ‘append_rows’, it now submits as many new rows to a sheet as you like.

e.g.

def append_rows(self, values, value_input_option='RAW'):
        """Adds multiple rows to the worksheet with values populated.
        The input should be a list of lists, with the lists each
        containing one row's values.
        Widens the worksheet if there are more values than columns.
        :param values: List of row lists.
        """
        params = {
                'valueInputOption': value_input_option
        }

        body = {
                'majorDimension': 'ROWS',
                'values': values
        }

        return self.spreadsheet.values_append(self.title, params, body)

Note that the majorDimension key isn’t necessary, but makes it explicit instead of relying on gsheets to figure out it’s not columns.

I would like to see this too. I hit the rate limit pretty quickly without this functionality. Using the above function worked perfect for my use case (~20k rows).

@burnash is completely off the grid and seems to have abandoned this project entirely. I’ve asked him if he could give some people permission to merge PRs, but he hasn’t responded.

This is one of the biggest issues with these kinds of projects: a single maintainer becomes the single point of failure.
