Steps to use google Sheets API

In order to use Google APIs you will need to authenticate, this steps guide you through the process:

0. Create a project in console.developers.google.com

https://console.developers.google.com

0. Create google service account. 0. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/projectselector/apis/credentials and create a new project.

   0. Create credentials.

      • In this first version, i will explain how to deal with Services accounts, so select "Service account key".

   1. Create a service account.

      • Download the .json file and KEEP IT SAFE.

   2. Now you have your service account created inside your new project.

   3. Copy your "user id" in "Manage service accounts" to use it later.

      • It looks like this one: first-service-account@example-id-175820.iam.gserviceaccount.com

   4. Go to your dashboard screen and go to "ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES" to "unlock" the desired API calls. In our example, we will just enable "Google sheets API".
