The error message I'm getting: "ERROR: The remote server returned an error. (403) Forbidden"

I've followed the instructions here first on how to create a Google API Key for Google Sheets" - https://www.vmix.com/hel...ex.htm?GoogleAPIKey.html

I then tried to add the API key I created as well as the "Shareable link" to a test Google Sheets doc.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks,

Christopher

When you did 'Share' on the sheet, did you click the 'Get shareable link' on the pop up. That seemed to do it for me.

Yup, I did that. Unfortunately, the ability to share at our site is limited globally in our G Suite. Meaning, we can't make a Google Sheets document "Public."

So, unless there's a way to log in via the vMix Data Source manager, it's not going to happen.

Desperate to know if you ahev been killed by your boss, but more importantly did you solve the problem with the 'forbidden' error?

I had everything working fine yesterday, and yet running again this morning I am getting the 'forbidden' error...

Any clues as to what may have changed? I have double checked the two main entries for the API and the Google Sheets location.

UPDATE: All working as expected now. It seems the issue is to keep Google Credential Restrictions to 'None'!
