Google Docs API

A Google Docs API account, with a client_id and client_secret, is required to use the GSheet format. See the link below to create your account and get the required information. https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/#setting_up_your_client_library

Once thats done, create a text file named googleapi.txt in the same directory as the executable. Paste in your client_id on the first line and your client_secret on the second line.
