get_all_records() returns error

When using get_all_records or get_all_values, the api errors with the following error:

gspread.exceptions.APIError: { "error": { "code": 400, "message": "Range ('DF1'!DF1) exceeds grid limits. Max rows: 10, max columns: 12", "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT" }

I’m also unable to use sheet.row_count and sheet.col_count in combination with sheet.range() to get the entire sheet data.

code:

scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
           'xxx-25a413f7fcd6.json', scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
wks = gc.open(sheet)
sheet = wks.worksheet(worksheet)
sheetData = sheet.get_all_records()

Stack trace or other output that would be helpful

Hi @mritzco,

Just came across this issue again and saw your reply - yes that works for me also. A PR would be great!

@burnash @ChamRoshi I think this is what happened: gspread does not single quote the sheetname when requesting the values. When you use a sheetname like DF1, stupid Google API will treat it as a range (here is the cell DF1 which usually does not exist), and looks the first sheet to find that cell.

I tested this by adding single quotes around the sheet name and it worked.

In the documentation: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/guides/concepts#a1_notation:

If the sheet name has spaces or starts with a bracket, surround the sheet name with single quotes ('), e.g ‘Sheet One’!A1:B2. For simplicity, it is safe to always surround the sheet name with single quotes.

@burnash could confirm and fix this ASAP?

Thank you!
