title: Am I able to download the data from a Google Spreadsheet with the Drive API?
body: <p>I've gotten to the point where I have the downloadUrl and exportLinks from the Drive API, however these are file resources. In order to read the actual data in the PHP script, do I have to use an excel reader?</p>
  
  <p>There are a lot of questions just like this, but terribly scattered answers.
  Most of the answers use The Document API which is now deprecated: <a href="https://developers.google.com/google-apps/documents-list/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/google-apps/documents-list/</a></p>
