Get Started

Run npm install to get all dependencies
Be sure to have your credentials.json file in the root of the project
- You can retrieve your credentials from: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/sheets.googleapis.com/credentials
- If you don't already have an Oauth credential setup then you will need to create one and download into this project with previously mentioned filename.
Create .env file with four environment variables
- RANGE
  - the sheet range to get data
  - example: Sheet1!A1:D20
- SCOPES
  - The scopes needed for google api client
  - example: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly"
- SPREADSHEET_ID
  - The id of your spreadsheet found in the URL when editing
  - "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{THE-PART-THAT-IS-RIGHT-HERE}/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=113055466453161932543"
- TOKEN_PATH
  - Where you want to store your token
  - Example: "token.json"
Run npm start
- The first time you will be prompted through a setup for retrieving your token but later times will run without the prompting
- NOTE: You can change the spreadsheet id and range without needing to update the token
