Editing Google Sheet With Service Account

• Visit Google Cloud Console
• Create a new project or select an existing project to enable the Google Sheets API.
• Create a Service Account with Owner access.
• Create a KEY for the newly added Service Account. This key would be automatically downloaded which we'll use to authenticate the Robot User.
• Visit APIs and Services > Library and ENABLE the Google Sheets API to interact with a Google Sheet.
• Create a Google Sheet in your user account and click on Share. Share it with the Robot User - the email would be something like service-accountu3928492@appsparkler-sheet-editor.iam.gserviceaccount.com with Editor access.

Service Account is a fancy name for a Robot User.

Now you can read, write, append cell values for any spreadsheet to which the Robot User has access to.
