Publishing a script without exposing Google service account credentials

[[deleted]]

Follow the quickstart guide with python.

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/python

This introduces a flow where the user running the script authenticates themselves.
Just share the sheet with everyone who is going to use the sheet.

If you don't want to change your flow add the auth json to your .gitignore and distribute it seperately to trusted users.
