How it works

To be able to read Google Sheets you must:

  1. Create a API key
  2. Enable Google Sheets API
  3. Share the spreadsheet link with option Anyone with the link (not same as Publish to web)
How to create API key and enable Google Sheets API
Instructions
  • To be able to use API key, you must share the spreadsheet link using option Anyone with the link, see image
  • Line 1: Set Google API key
  • Line 2: Set Spreadsheet Id.
    ⠀⠀If you don’t know how to locate this, open your Google spreadheet and get it from the url:
    ⠀⠀https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/spreadsheetId/edit#gid=0
  • Line 4: Replace Sheet1!A1:B1 with with the sheet and cell values you would like to read.

Notes
  • Do not expose your API key to anyone. Set API key restrictions to prevent unauthorized use and quota theft.
