Update value in Google Sheet APIv4 with Python

Question

I use the following python code to deal with Google sheet:

#!/usr/bin/python
from __future__ import print_function
import httplib2
import os

from apiclient import discovery
from oauth2client import client
from oauth2client import tools
from oauth2client.file import Storage

try:
    import argparse
    flags = argparse.ArgumentParser(parents=[tools.argparser]).parse_args()
except ImportError:
    flags = None

SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets'
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = 'client_secret.json'
APPLICATION_NAME = 'Google Sheets API Python Quickstart'


def get_credentials():

    home_dir = os.path.expanduser('~')
    credential_dir = os.path.join(home_dir, '.credentials')
    if not os.path.exists(credential_dir):
        os.makedirs(credential_dir)
    credential_path = os.path.join(credential_dir,
                                   'sheets.googleapis.com-python-quickstart.json')

    store = Storage(credential_path)
    credentials = store.get()
    if not credentials or credentials.invalid:
        flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, SCOPES)
        flow.user_agent = APPLICATION_NAME
        if flags:
            credentials = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags)
        else: # Needed only for compatibility with Python 2.6
            credentials = tools.run(flow, store)
        print('Storing credentials to ' + credential_path)
    return credentials

def main():
    credentials = get_credentials()
    print("get_credentials DONE")
    http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
    discoveryUrl = ('https://sheets.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?'
                    'version=v4')
    service = discovery.build('sheets', 'v4', http=http,
                              discoveryServiceUrl=discoveryUrl)

    spreadsheetid = '1tMtwIJ1NKusQRMrF0FnV6WVaLJ1MUzun-p_rgO06zh0'
    rangeName = "QQ!A1:A5"

    values = [
        [
            500,400,300,200,100,
        ],
    ]

    Body = {
    'values' : values,
    }

    result = service.spreadsheets().values().update(
    spreadsheetId=spreadsheetid, range=rangeName,
    valueInputOption='RAW', body=Body).execute()

    print("Writing OK!!")

    result = service.spreadsheets().values().get(
        spreadsheetId=spreadsheetid, range=rangeName).execute()
    values = result.get('values', [])

    if not values:
        print('No data found.')
    else:
        print('Name :')
        for row in values:
            # Print columns A and E, which correspond to indices 0 and 4.
            print('%s' % (row[0]))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

After I run the code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "google-sheet.py", line 100, in 
    main()
  File "google-sheet.py", line 82, in main
    valueInputOption='RAW', body=Body).execute()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oauth2client/_helpers.py", line 133, in positional_wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/googleapiclient/http.py", line 840, in execute
    raise HttpError(resp, content, uri=self.uri)
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError:

But if I only read the value, it works perfectly. I have found a lot information in Google. No related helpful information about it.

After Sam Berlin's help,
just put the body content:

Body = {
'values' : values,
'majorDimension' : 'COLUMNS',
}

And it works perfect!!
