### Usage

[](#usage)

Add Google API key and import Google JSON credentials.

Now you can use Google services.

Here is an example for Google Service Sheets:

```
	// Get the API client and construct the service object.
	$api_key = elgg_get_plugin_setting('api_key','google_api');

	// Initialize Google Client
	$client = new \Google_Client();
	$client->setDeveloperKey($api_key);
	$client->setApplicationName('my_app');
	$client->setScopes(\Google_Service_Sheets::SPREADSHEETS);
	$client->setAccessType('offline');

	// Authorize Google Client
	$data = elgg_get_data_path() . 'google/google_key.json';
	$client->setAuthConfig(json_decode($data, true));

	// Initialize Google service
	$service = new \Google_Service_Sheets($client);

```
