title: How can I make and connect a spreadsheet to my code using the Google Sheets API?
body: <p>I'm writing an app that needs to record data in a Google Spreadsheet with <code>Swift</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm just really uncertain how to actually get started! I set up the Google sheets <code>API</code> in the Google <code>API</code> console and in my cocoapods following the Quickstart provided by google. Google's libraries <code>GoogleAPIClientForREST</code> and <code>GTMOAuth2</code> are in my app and are ready to be used.</p>
  
  <p>I basically just need to read and write to an existing spreadsheet but I do not know how to create the spreadsheet and refer to it so I can read and write to it as needed. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
