This is a simple example of how to upload data to a Google Sheet using Node.js.

1. Create a Google Sheet
2. You will need to create a Google Cloud Platform project and enable the Google Sheets API. See this guide for more information.
3. Create a service account and download the JSON credentials file. See this guide for more information.
4. Create a .env file in the root of the project and add the following:

   The JSON Credentials file should be saved in env file as GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS. See this guide for more information. Then you have to replace \\n with \n in the credentials, otherwise you will get an error.

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=YOUR_CREDENTIALS_HERE
SHEET_ID=YOUR_SHEET_ID_HERE
SHEET_RANGE=YOUR_SHEET_RANGE_HERE

5. Set the credentials in Secrets repository in GitHub. See this guide for more information.
6. Google gives to you an google service account email. You have to share your google sheet with this email. See this guide for more information.
7. Finally, you have to set your preferences to run it automatically with GitHub Actions, you must do this in the file .github/workflows/update.yml.

1. I work with this API to get data from CMF Chilean Indicators. You can use any API you want.

   Documentation I get the data on example.js file.

2. Then I want to upload the data to this Google Sheet.
3. In index.js you have to change the function transformData to match your data with Google Sheets API format (array of arrays).

   Set values in range of a spreadsheets, documentation.

4. Run npm start to upload the data to your Google Sheet.

   This clears the data and then loads the new data, in case you want to load data with a different range each time.

1. Run npm install to install the dependencies.
2. Run npm start to start the program.

1. Google Sheets API
2. Google Cloud Platform Node.js Client Library
3. Authenticate to Google Cloud
