Google Drive: get where a document must be signed

Automatically get where a document must be signed on docs.google.com. Read a Google Docs / Drive eSignature request without signing: who sent it, each signer and whether they have signed, and every field each signer must fill (signature, initials, date, name or text), with its page number and its position on the page (left, top, right, bottom as fractions of the page width and height, from the top-left corner). Text fields also come with their id (pass it to sign_document), the sender's hint, and the value once signed. Says which fields are for the signed-in account. Takes the PDF link from list_signature_requests or the request email. Refuses when the file has no signature request. When the browser is signed in to several Google accounts, pass the account to act as.

url required

Output

fileId required
status required

The request's status as Google gives it (for example inProgress, approved).

You do not need one. "Google Drive: get where a document must be signed" drives the real docs.google.com pages in a browser, so it works whether or not docs.google.com offers an API for this.
Required: url. Optional: account.
It returns title, fileId, status, signers, requestedBy.
Yes. It acts as you on docs.google.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the docs.google.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It only reads. It looks things up on docs.google.com and changes nothing there.

Create a Google Sheets spreadsheet

Create a new Google Spreadsheet in My Drive, optionally with a title. Returns spreadsheetId, url, and firstGid (always 0). The file lands in Drive root (My Drive); moving it elsewhere is a Drive action, not a Sheets one.

Sheets: write cells

Write a 2D block of values into one tab of a Google Spreadsheet, top-left at startCell, like the Sheets API: null leaves a cell as it is, "" clears it, anything else replaces it as if typed (dropdown rules and formatting stay; clearing a dropdown cell removes its dropdown). Returns range, rows, cols, saved once every edit is saved. A value the sheet refuses (data validation, outside the grid) stops the run with the sheet's own message. Values are parsed per the spreadsheet locale ("1.5" in a FR sheet becomes 1 May; prefix ' to force text); leading = enters a formula; needs edit rights.

Sheets: add tab

Add a tab to a Google Spreadsheet, optionally naming it in the same pass. Returns the new tab's gid and final name. Waits for the editor's save before resolving; needs edit rights.
