Interesting- why is it blocked at work?

Got it. Transparently, I've been working on a tool called Flowdash ( https://flowdash.com ) that helps bring structured data to workflows like this. I'd love to get your feedback since it sounds like you're pretty f

That's pretty cool! I was recently looking at Google's API docs as well, but I'll definitely check out node-google-spreadsheet. One thing I could never figure out from Google's API docs is whether you can retrieve the re
