Instead of upgrading my old Google Spreadsheets module 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

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
   2. Click "Enable APIs and Services"
   3. Search "Sheets"
   4. Click "Enable"
   5. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient
   6. IMPORTANT Choose "Desktop app" and choose a name
   7. Should find a form with: Client ID, Client secret
   8. Run node credentials-fill.js which will update credentials.json
2. Run the examples (eg-*.js)
