Please rename to .

See:

Shortening to [gs-api] (for which there is some precedent) would serve.

    A synonym seems like a good idea (in what direction?) Commented Sep 24, 2015 at 16:02

    The product was renamed "Google Sheets" in 2012 and the API updated to match in 2014. Having the official tag be [google-sheets-api] would be the most consistent, with [google-spreadsheet-api] as a synonym for historical reasons. Commented May 2, 2016 at 14:31

    @BhargavRao is there any way to port the tag info that was present on the google-spreadsheet-api tag? If my memory serves, there was more information on it than is present for the google-sheets-api tag info. I feel the usage guideline is OK as-is though.

After the question was raised, an independent tag was created. The current situation is that both tags are in use:

So it's no longer just a naming issue: questions already got split between tags with identical meaning. This requires synonymization and merge. The direction of merging seems obvious, since the current name is Google Sheets API.

    Thanks for the reply, unfortunately too late for the rename to be possible. I tried merging, where google-spreadsheet-api would become a synonym of google-sheets-api, but it fails due to a restriction that you can't merge a larger tag into a smaller one if the ratio is greater than 1.25. Any known workarounds? Commented Aug 10, 2016 at 17:29
