Bulk publish courses with start date listed?

[Justin_Reynolds]

Hello, 

I found a couple of community posts on bulk publishing courses. 

• This one: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-LMS-Blog/How-to-list-teachers-who-have-published-unpublish...

Worked until my access to Google Drive was blocked by IT.  I've had recent trouble with the script anyway, so I'm hoping for another solution.

Another great solution, but we have sessions within a term.  We'd prefer to publish based on start date rather than by term alone. 

Ideally, does anyone know of a Google Sheets replacement that would allow us to publish courses by start date?  I don't know JS and new to python.  I'm better with the API but would love something automated. 

Thanks!

And shout out to @Code-with-Ski and @James for their excellent work!
