Hi Shawn,

This is what worked for me. I had a spreadsheet at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qZ6Sgu2qcKy-Rbc-L_5YN-zJD2jErOw2BUhur3-yWlk/edit#gid=0

Note that 1qZ6Sgu2qcKy-Rbc-L_5YN-zJD2jErOw2BUhur3-yWlk is the ID for the 
sheet.

I did "publish to the web" and the dialog gave me this url:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSXmb6tv3ThsUp_uBnvLuB9PEA7C5eifsDpV5Wa1q68Xq0j8xerH6liR_IWuL-ykPQJzWVSalRPKkrj/pubhtml

Now ignore that URL. This is the <link> I put in the head of my Exhibit 
page to access JSON from that spreadsheet:
<link rel="exhibit/data" type="application/jsonp"
href="
https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1qZ6Sgu2qcKy-Rbc-L_5YN-zJD2jErOw2BUhur3-yWlk/od6/public/basic?hl=en_US&alt=json-in-script
"
data-ex-converter="googleSpreadsheets" />


Notice that it uses the ID from the URL used to access the sheet directly.

More recently, for a different Exhibit, I found I had to further tinker 
with a data link URL such that:
https:
//spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/standardSheetURL_ID/1/public/basic?hl=en_US&amp;alt=json-in-script#gid=115609054"




Notice that /od6/ has been replaced by the number of the sheet: /1/; and, 
the gid has been tacked on to the end.
I found this blog post 
<http://cwestblog.com/2018/03/25/google-sheets-data-as-json-jsonp/> 
instructive as well.

Also, note David Karger's post 
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/simile-widgets/ctqxFM9dvgA/Yl8dwybIEQAJ> 
to the list here.

Google keeps tinkering with stuff, and is not always very transparent about 
it.
