Configuration

To configure Google Sheets with Mage, you’ll need to enable several APIs in your GCP project and add credentials to Mage.

​
Enable relevant APIs

Using Google Sheets in Mage requires the following to be enabled via GCP:
  • Google Drive API
  • Google Sheets API
Additionaly, the Google Sheet must be shared with the service account used in Mage. You can follow this guide to enable relevant services.

​
Add credentials

Adding credentials for Sheets is the same as adding credentials for other Google services, i.e. BigQuery, GCP. Before you begin, you’ll need to create a service account key. Please read Google Cloud’s documentation on how to create that. Once your finished, following these steps:
  1. Create a new pipeline or open an existing pipeline.
  2. Expand the left side of your screen to view the file browser.
  3. Scroll down and click on a file named io_config.yaml.
  4. Enter the following keys and values under the key named default (you can have multiple profiles, add it under whichever is relevant to you)
  5. Note: you only need to add the keys under GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY or the value for key GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY_FILEPATH (both are not simultaneously required. If you use GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY_FILEPATH, please delete GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY in the io_config.yaml).
version: 0.1.1
default:
  GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY:
    type: service_account
    project_id: project-id
    private_key_id: key-id
    private_key:
      "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nyour_private_key\n-----END_PRIVATE_KEY"
    client_email: your_service_account_email
    auth_uri: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"
    token_uri: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
    auth_provider_x509_cert_url: "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs"
    client_x509_cert_url: "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/your_service_account_email"
  GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY_FILEPATH: "/path/to/your/service/account/key.json"
