node-red-contrib-google-sheets

A basic node for reading and writing from/to google sheets.

Auth

To setup auth this node uses a google service account:

Create a new service account from This Page

Download a JSON credentials object for the service account.

Give that account access to the sheets API.

Share your sheet with the email address of the service account eg nodered@nodered-12345.iam.gserviceaccount.com

Sheets

The sheet ID can be found in the URL of your google sheet, for example in
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UuVIH2O38XK0TfPMGHk0HG_ixGLtLk6WoBKh4YSrDm4/edit#gid=0

The ID would be 1UuVIH2O38XK0TfPMGHk0HG_ixGLtLk6WoBKh4YSrDm4

Google sheets uses the following syntax to reference a tab and cells of the worksheet

The format is Sheet1!A1:C3
