Google Drive API files.export method no longer renders '=IMAGE()' when exporting a Google Sheets file

This didn’t use to be the case until around a week ago and the PDF file I got would contain the images contained in the Sheets file that I exported. Now, any such image is blanked out.

What could have caused this change in API behaviour? Any help appreciated.

Hi @anilyaris It’s likely a recent Google Sheets rendering change rather than a Drive API issue, as =IMAGE() may no longer resolve during server-side export—try using publicly accessible image URLs or embedding the images directly in the sheet to verify.
