8266 :: Getting Started with googleapi module

• Asarmir (orginal) [2021-07-25T03:50:00+02:00] view original

  This is my first time posting as I have been trying not to ask for any help as I am new to programing and have been enjoying trying to figure out my issue alone. However, I finally ran into a wall and hit it hard. I am building a program like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpUjos1FCfw&list=WL&index=57&t=161s it takes a string(activity) and a start time using the cli parameters. When you run the program with the stop command it will calculate the differs and send the activity name and time.inMinutes to your google sheets. However, I am new at dealing with api. I have created a google service a account and enable the sheets api. I also created the credentials. However, I'm lost at how to start using the googleapi module so I can send my data to my google sheets. I was hoping someone could help me get on the starting path because how the documentation on the googleapi module is vague for someone who is new and I am looking for guidance to get me over this hump.

  The video you posted uses python, which has google-made-API for its services. They maintain the API and support every feature they have. They have hundreds of programmers maintaining the python google api.

  While the googleapi module in Nim is made by me, and used by practically no one except me. I only made it work for my use-case. If you are new to nim and new to google services its probably not a good project to get started with.

  The sheets API has a little test example: https://github.com/treeform/googleapi/blob/master/src/googleapi/sheets.nim#L36-L46

  Can you at least get your spread sheet?

  Sorry Treeform for the late reply. I have drop the project for now since my skill level is to low. I plan on trying this later on. Right now I am working on a Roblox game improving my basic programing knowledge and trying small more beginner Nim projects. Trying to work my way up to this in the near future. Thanks for replying to me.
