Step 3: Select JSON format for the key type, the key will be downloaded to your DOWNLOADS folder. The file name will be similar to your project id.

Step 4: Open the downloaded JSON file (I have used notepad). The following fields from the JSON are required to create a connection.

  • Private_key

  • Private_key_id

  • Client_id

  • Client_email

Note: To use your Google spreadsheet as source or target in EazyDI, you need to give access of sheet to your service account. For that you just need to share the Google spreadsheet with the Client_email from the JSON file.
