Build a CRUD API using the Google Sheets API

The Google Sheets API, currently at version 4.0, allows users to connect and manage Google Sheets as a database, offering capabilities such as cell formatting and acting as a CMS. By setting up a project in Google Cloud Console and linking it to a Google Sheet, developers can implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using Node.js packages like Express and googleapis. The API supports various programming languages and serves as a useful tool for integrating small-scale projects, despite having a request limit of 100 per 100 seconds. The guide also highlights the steps to authenticate and authorize access, set up CRUD operations, and make HTTP requests for data manipulation in Google Sheets, providing a practical introduction to API usage and integration.
