I have experienced a similar error and found that it usually indicates issues with the target spreadsheet or mismatched permissions. In my case, ensuring the spreadsheet ID exactly matched the one in the URL resolved part of the problem. I was also forced to verify that the Google Sheets API was enabled in my project and that the service account was properly granted access. It is important to double-check both the API credentials and OAuth scopes to rule out authentication issues. Reflecting on my experience, these steps often clear up the problem.
I’ve dealt with this frustrating 404 error before when working with the Google Sheets API. In my experience, it often boils down to permission issues or incorrect spreadsheet IDs. Have you double-checked that the service account you’re using has the necessary permissions to access the spreadsheet? Sometimes, even if your credentials are correct, the API can’t ‘see’ the sheet if it’s not explicitly shared with the service account email.
Another thing to consider is the spreadsheet ID itself. Make sure you’re using the correct ID from the URL - it’s that long string of characters between ‘/d/’ and ‘/edit’ in the sheet’s web address. I once spent hours debugging only to realize I had a typo in the ID.
Lastly, ensure you’ve enabled the Google Sheets API in your Google Cloud Console for the project you’re working with. It’s an easy step to overlook, but crucial for the API to function properly. Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
hey miar, sounds like a pain! i’ve hit that 404 before. make sure ur spreadsheet ID is spot on - it’s that long string in the URL. also, check if u shared the sheet with ur service account email. sometimes it’s just a permissions thing. good luck!
