I'm helping someone out by displaying the contents of their spreadsheet within a different UI (pretty much have some html tabel elements and surrounding elements display in accordance to the content I retrived from the given spreadsheet) using PHP/Zend. Now this person doesn't want to deal with authentication and has set their spreadsheet to the privacy setting: "anyone with a link."
Now I have the link and with it the public key. Before I code anything up in PHP, I test the query within my browser to see if I get a XML file. I don't, instead I get a "The spreadsheet at this URL could not be found" error. And yet, I do get a XML file for this spreadsheet<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-spreadsheets-api/_433NPfYybw/discussion> even though it has the same privacy setting ("anyone with a link") as the person I'm helping out. Why am I not able to access this spreadsheet via a query? Is a spreadsheet with a "anyone with a link" setting not considered public and I have to make the person I'm helping deal with authentication or set their spreadsheet to full "public?" Best, Vahan
