How to protect a sheet via Google Sheets API?

Question

I see we have AddProtectedRangeRequest, but I want to protect the whole sheet just like you can do through the UI. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

From the docs for ProtectedRange.range: The range that is being protected. The range may be fully unbounded, in which case this is considered a protected sheet.

So if you only set the range's sheetId and leave the start/end row/col empty (e.g unbounded), it will protect the whole sheet.
