Extra columns when fetching data from Ragic: '_ragicId', '_star', '_index_' and '_seq'

Hi there

When fetching data from Ragic, there are four extra columns:
‘_ragicId’ and ‘_star’ before all my original columns and
‘index’ and ‘_seq’ after all my original columns.
What are these?
Are they for me to use in my script? And should I?

I could just chop them off and send sheets back to Ragic without them - assuming they will be generated again by Ragic and appear again the next time I fetch data only to be chopped off by me again. I’m guessing that would actually be the easiest solution for me, but am not sure if I risk making a mess.

Thanks,
Anders

Hi Anders,

The extra columns are ragic metadata, they can be safely ignored.

You can safely remove those extra data from your request to Ragic.

Thanks,
