Step 1: Create a Service Account

1. OPEN THE GOOGLE CLOUD CONSOLE

2. SELECT YOUR PROJECT:

• If you don't have a project , create one. Otherwise, select an existing project from the top bar.

3. OPEN THE NAVIGATION MENU:

• Click on the navigation menu icon in the upper-left corner.

4. NAVIGATE TO IAM & ADMIN:

• Go to "IAM & Admin" > "Service accounts".

5. CLICK "CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT":

• Click the "Create Service Account" button.

6. FILL IN SERVICE ACCOUNT DETAILS:

• Enter a name and description for your service account.
• Choose a role (e.g., "Project" >"Editor" for broad access).
• Click "Continue".

7. OPTIONAL: GRANT USERS ACCESS:

• On the next screen, you can grant users access to the service account if needed.
• Click "Done" to create the service account.

Step 2: Enable APIs

1. NAVIGATE TO APIS & SERVICES:

• In the Google Cloud Console , go to "APIs & Services" > "Library".

2. SEARCH FOR GOOGLE SHEETS API:

• Serach for "Google sheets API" and enable it.
• Follow the same process for the "Google Drive API".

Step 3: Generate JSON Key File

1. BACK TO SERVICE ACCOUNTS:

• In the Google Cloud Console, go to "IAM & Admin" >"Service Accounts".

2. FIND YOUR SERVICE ACCOUNT:

• Locate the service account you created and click on it.

3. CREATE A KEY:

• In the "Keys " tab, click on "Add Key" > "JSON".
• Save the generated JSON file to a secure location.

Step 4: Grant Permissions (if needed)

If you're using Google Sheets or Google Drive APIs, you may need to share your sheets or drive with the service account. Share the sheets or drive with the service account's email address found in the JSON key file.

Step 5: Use the Service Account

If your application or script, use the generated JSON key file to authenticate requests to Google Sheets and Google Drive APIs on behalf of your service account.

Remember to keep the JSON key file secure, as it provides authentication credentials for your service account.
