Reduce API request number for API call limitation reasons.

Hi, After reading your lib, I appreciate your contribution to an easy, fast Google SpreadSheet API. I saw in class SpreadSheet, you call every single spreadsheets.get for every single function get_workspace. I think you should update all of workspace metadata in __init__ method of SpreadSheet class for reducing call gg API.

Thanks again

I checked the methods you mention, yes we call the method fetch_sheet_metadata each time. But in the case of __init__ we only keep the properties section and in the other cases we only keep the sheet section.

We could keep the list of sheets from the sheet section in the __init__ but gspread is asyncrhonous and does not handle concurrency. So if we get the list of sheets at __init__ and later try to get a sheet, it might have change, it might not exists anymore. This is why when you request a specific sheet using get_worksheet or worksheet we must call the API again and retrieve the latest informations.

This is why we can’t cache the response from the GET request.

Hello @sandl99 ,

Thabk you very much we are happy that you like gspread.

I don’t understand what’s you mean sorry, you mention workspaces but we don’t have such objects, do you mean worksheets?
