# Google spreadsheets V4 API using Node
Instead of upgrading my old Google Spreadsheets module [`edit-google-spreadsheet`](https://github.com/jpillora/node-edit-google-spreadsheet) to support the Google Sheets v4 API, I've chosen to deprecate it, and provide a guide on how to use the `googleapis` module directly. The `googleapis` module, along with the Sheets v4 API provides:
- Faster responses
- More features
- Uses JSON instead of XML
- `async`/`await` support
See example (`eg`) files in this repository for more information
---
Tips:
- The Node.js API mirrors the "REST Resources" found in the documentation https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/.
- Use a TypeScript enabled editor for useful auto-completes
### How to run the examples
The following process creates a new OAuth application (Client ID/Secret) and gives it access to your Google account's spreadsheets (Refresh token) and stores the results into `credentials.json`
1. Get your credentials
1. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard
1. Click "Enable APIs and Services"
1. Search "Sheets"
1. Click "Enable"
1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient
1. **IMPORTANT** Choose "Desktop app" and choose a name
1. Should find a form with: Client ID, Client secret
1. Run `node credentials-fill.js` which will update `credentials.json`
1. Run the examples (`eg-*.js`)
