How to connect with Google Spread Sheet :
- Create a new VCL Forms Application.
- Drop a TFDPhysGoogleSheetsDriverLink and TFDConnection object onto the form.
- Double-click the TFDConnection object. The FireDAC Connection Editor is displayed. Select “CData.GoogleSheets” in the DriverId menu and configure the connection properties.
You can connect to a spreadsheet by providing authentication to Google and then setting the Spreadsheet connection property to the name or feed link of the spreadsheet. If you want to view a list of information about the spreadsheets in your Google Drive, execute a query to the Spreadsheets view after you authenticate.
Use the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard. To access Google APIs on behalf on individual users, you can use the embedded credentials or you can register your own OAuth app.
OAuth also enables you to use a service account to connect on behalf of users in a Google Apps domain. To authenticate with a service account, you will need to register an application to obtain the OAuth JWT values.
See the Getting Started chapter in the help documentation to connect to Google Sheets from different types of accounts: Google accounts, Google Apps accounts, and accounts using two-step verification.
