GAS "On edit" trigger not running when edited from API

I was wondering if someone encountered this issue and thought of a workaround that isn't awful.

I have a trigger on Google Spreadsheets that is configured "on edit", and it works fine if the edit occurs manually (or via formula) from within the spreadsheet itself. However if I modify a cell externally from the Sheets API v4, the cell is changed but the function isn't triggered. Am I missing something, or Google simply doesn't support triggering when change comes from "outside"?

EDIT: As per @TheMaster's suggestion, I wrote:

function test_on_change(e){
  console.log("Changed");
  console.log(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getA1Notation());
}

The e object is json of the enum that is described here.

Solution 1:

onChange installable trigger works with edits made from sheets api. It is possible to get the edited range using .getActiveRange() calls.

Solution 2:

As you can read in the Trigger Restrictions:

Script executions and API requests do not cause triggers to run. For example, calling Range.setValue() to edit a cell does not cause the spreadsheet's onEdit trigger to run.

In case you want to deploy the script as a Web App as Tanaike mentioned, you might want to check the documentation.
