> Archive Google Sheet Data with Google Sheets API Advanced Service in Google Apps Script

Keeping your Google Sheets organised can be a chore. A recent tutorial by Scott Donald shows you how to automatically archive old rows based on multi-column parameters using Google Apps Script and the Advanced Sheets API, making data management easier and more efficient. This post highlights Scott’s approach to scripting a solution, including how to set up the Sheets API, the main components of the script, and potential applications.

As always Scott packs in a lot of useful tips and guidance; in particular, the tutorial highlights how to archive data using just five API calls, potentially making it faster than the standard `SpreadsheetApp` approach. Scott also details how to modify the script to suit different processes and includes details on his `SsReq` class. It provides a structured way to perform common operations like retrieving data, finding rows based on criteria, copying rows, appending rows, and removing rows, making it a great addition to your personal Apps Script toolbox.
