  • Click Create your first connection to initiate a new connection workflow.

Dashboard to create first connection

  • Airbyte asks you to select a source. You can select an existing source or set up a new source. In this example, select Google Sheets.

Airbyte source

  • Add the link to the source spreadsheet as Spreadsheet Link.

  • For authentication use Service Account Key Authentication, which uses a service account key in JSON format. Toggle from the default OAuth option to Service Account Key Authentication, then enter your Google Cloud service account key in JSON format.

  • Make sure the service account has the Viewer role in your Google Cloud project and that the Google Sheets API is enabled for the project. If your spreadsheet is viewable by anyone with its link, no further action is needed. If not, open the Google Sheet, click Share, and give the service account email from the JSON key, listed as client_email, at least Viewer access to the spreadsheet.

Note

For more details, refer to setting Google Sheets as Source Connector in Airbyte Open Source
