Hello there, i’m trying to connect through WebAPI to Google Sheets.

I know there’s a nice component for it, but unfortunately i need an extra sparkle.  
Ideally i need the app to select automatically the page’s sheet where to get data from (or add to), right now it can only be decided through blocks. In general i need the sheet to be a variable.

I created the project in Google Cloud Console, enabled the Google Sheets API, created an Android OAuth and got Client ID.  
From here, blank.  
What i think i need is how to get an Authorization token from the Client ID to be set as Header in the api call.

I looked a lot on internet, but some solutions seem outdated or not helpful for my case.

Did someone already came across this and can enlight me?

Thank you very much!

Hello @maurizio.polverini89  
To make the Google Sheets API work you could create a new API using another backend provider and then this API will call Google Sheets. For example, you could use [Zappier’s Google Sheets connection](https://app.intercom.com/Google%20Sheetshttps://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations/filter) or [Make](https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-sheets). These services have been known to work well with Thunkable.
