I am developing a Node.js app where I will ask the users to authenticate with their Google ID’s

Once the users complete authentication, my app will create a google spreadsheet in the user’s account.

  1. Should I start looking into the Google Drive API or should I start looking into the spreadsheet api ?

  2. Are there any ready made modules available for these in Node.js ?

  3. How do I authenticate users using a google login ?

EDIT–

4 . What sort of API access should I create if I have to create spreadsheets on behalf of the user, a service account or a Client ID ? What is the difference between these two ?

    1) To create a spreadsheet (or any other document type) in the user’s account you have to use the Drive API

    2) There’s no Node.js module, but the Drive SDK documentation includes JavaScript samples for all methods that you can use to get started

    3) You have to use OAuth 2.0 to authorize your requests: https://developers.google.com/drive/about-auth
