# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the
# Google Sheets scope.

# In this example, Get Google Sheets OAuth2 Access Token, the access
# token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..

# Send the POST to create the new Google spreadsheet.
