What you actually need from the gadget is the key to your spreadsheet, which is in the spreadsheet's URL; using a gadget is a wholly unnecessary extra step. As an example, to query this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiFfbdok-kQKcENRYmV0ZC1DcHRHWHh4UUlHN1ZGSVE#gid=0, you pull out the "key" parameter ("pCQbetd-CptGXxxQIG7VFIQ" in this case) and plug it into the data query url (http://spreadsheets.google.com/tq?key=<key here>). In this example, you would have a url that looks like this: https://spreadsheets.google.com/tq?key=pCQbetd-CptGXxxQIG7VFIQ. You don't need to use a gadget at all.
