Google Sheet API with Protected Range for DATA SOURCE sheets - google-sheets-api

Question

I am trying to protect a sheet with sheetType as 'DATA_SOURCE'.
I create a new spreadsheet using a service account and the Sheets API v4 with Python. In that spreadsheet I add a new sheet with sheetType as 'DATA_SOURCE' and I add a protected range for the whole sheet.
When I access the Spreadsheet in the browser the sheet is not protected.
This is the code that I use to create the spreadsheet, add the data source, and protect the sheet
from googleapiclient import discovery
from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials
scopes = [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery.readonly']
creds = Credentials.from_service_account_file(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE_PATH, scopes=scopes)
sheets_service = discovery.build('sheets', 'v4', credentials=creds)
request_body = {
"sheets": [
{
"properties" : {
"sheetId": 0,
"title": "data_souce_sheet",
"index": 0,
"sheetType": "DATA_SOURCE",
"dataSourceSheetProperties": {"dataSourceId": "data_souce_sheet"},
"hidden": False
},
"protectedRanges": [{"range": {"sheetId": 0}, "warningOnly": False, "editors": {"users": [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL]}}],
},
],
"dataSources": [
{"dataSourceId":'data_souce_sheet',
"sheetId":0,
"spec": {
"parameters": [],
"bigQuery": {
"projectId": PROJECT_ID,
"querySpec": {
"rawQuery": "SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() AS NOW"
}
}
}
}]
}
creation_request = sheets_service.spreadsheets().create(body=request_body)
creation_response = creation_request.execute()
In the creation_response there are no protected ranges. Even when I go to the spreadsheet using the browser the sheet is not protected.
I can manually protect the sheet, and in the UI I see the "lock", but when I use the API to see the properties I still don't see a protected range
request = sheets_service.spreadsheets().get(spreadsheetId=SHEET_ID, includeGridData=False)
response = request.execute()
The output:
{'dataSources': [{'dataSourceId': 'data_souce_sheet',
'spec': {'bigQuery': {'projectId': '...',
'querySpec': {'rawQuery': 'SELECT '
'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() '
'AS NOW'}}}}],
'properties': {'autoRecalc': '...',
'defaultFormat': {...},
'locale': '...',
'spreadsheetTheme': {...},
'sheets': [{'properties': {'dataSourceSheetProperties': {'columns': [{'reference': {'name': 'NOW'}}],
'dataExecutionStatus': {'lastRefreshTime': '2023-01-12T15:30:17.681Z',
'state': 'SUCCEEDED'},
'dataSourceId': 'data_souce_sheet'},
'gridProperties': {'columnCount': 1, 'rowCount': 1},
'index': 0,
'sheetId': 0,
'sheetType': 'DATA_SOURCE',
'title': 'data_souce_sheet'}}],
'spreadsheetId': '...',
'spreadsheetUrl': '...'}
