@saavannanavati I solved this issue in next.js by using API routes Next js.

hi @willi-dev, could you provide an solved example or your project that using google-spreadsheet? I can’t figure it out using API routes in Next js.

@wahyupriadi Do you use Next.JS API Routes? here the example:

/* pages/api/hello.js */

import { GoogleSpreadsheet } from 'google-spreadsheet'

/**
 * this function for example append new row
 */
const appendSpreadsheet = async (row) => {
  const spreadsheetId = "" /* your spreadsheet id */
  const clientEmail = "" /* your client email */
  const privateKey = "" /* your privateKey */
  const sheetId = "" /* your sheet id */
  const doc = new GoogleSpreadsheet(spreadsheetId)
  try {
    await doc.useServiceAccountAuth({
      client_email: clientEmail,
      private_key: privateKey,
    });
    // loads document properties and worksheets
    await doc.loadInfo();
    const sheet = doc.sheetsById[sheetId];
    await sheet.addRow(row);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Error: ', e);
  }
}

export default (req, res) => {
  /* add new Row data */ 
  const newRow = { 
    col1: "col 1", 
    col2: "col 2"
  }
  appendSpreadsheet(newRow)
  res.statusCode = 200
  res.json({ 
    code: 200,
    data: {
      message: 'Hello'
     }
  })
}

after create function in API routes, you can do ajax request using Axios or Fetch to your API Route in your component example

/* ExampleComponent.js */
import React, { useEffect } from 'react'

const ExampleComponent = () => {
  
  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/hello')
        .then( response => {
          return response.json()
        })
        .then( data => {
          console.log(data.data)
        })
        .catch (error => {
          console.log(error)
        })
  })
  
  return (
    <div>
    ....
    </div>
  )
}

export default ExampleComponent

Looks to be related to this? https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs/pull/371 Hopefully upgrading the google auth library will fix it.

I’ll try to get to it soon!
