Does g-export support private Google Drive files?

No, this skill is designed to work with public documents where the access is set to 'Anyone with the link'.

Why use g-export instead of the standard WebFetch tool?

WebFetch often only retrieves the JavaScript loader code for Google documents. g-export specifically targets the export endpoints to ensure the actual content is downloaded and converted into a readable format.

What is the TOON format mentioned in the Sheets export?

TOON is a specialized format for Sheets that simplifies survey and session data, making it easier for Claude to transform it into readable Markdown while preserving data integrity.

Will images be preserved when exporting Google Docs to Markdown?

To keep files lightweight, base64 images are removed during Markdown exports. If you need images, it is recommended to export the document as a DOCX or PDF instead.

Can I choose which sheet to export from a large workbook?

Yes, the skill automatically detects the 'gid' parameter in the URL to fetch specific sheets; otherwise, it defaults to the first sheet.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Downloads and converts public Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides into local formats for direct analysis and integration.

About

The g-export skill bridges the gap between Google Workspace and your local development environment by providing a reliable way to fetch document content that standard web scrapers cannot reach. It overcomes the limitations of JavaScript-heavy loaders on Google domains, allowing Claude to download public Docs, Sheets, and Slides into clean, local formats like Markdown, CSV, or PDF. This is particularly useful for developers who need to reference project specifications, analyze spreadsheet data, or extract text from presentations without leaving the terminal.
