Create spreadsheet with Google Sheets API V4 API Key

Question

I've figured out how to read values from a Budgeting Spreadsheet I created, but I can't figure out how to create a new spreadsheet with the Sheets API V4. I've been struggling with this problem for 5 months by now, has anyone solved this problem before?

Here's my code:

// READ - WORKING!
router.get("/get", (req, res) => {
  var id = '1LoSF_4Z9aoiVvDsjFV9CMOd--vvz3fERfOPajVb2sv8';  
  var params = 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/?key='
  var url = params + apiKey;
  request(`https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${id}?key=${apiKey}`, (error, response, body) => {
    console.log("Body", body);
  });
})

// Create - NOT WORKING!
router.post('/create', (req,res)=>{
  request({
    method: 'POST',
    uri: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets?fields=properties%2Ftitle&key=${apiKey}`
  }, (error, response, body)=>{

    console.log(body);
    //Logs the body of the newly created spreadsheet

  })
})

I used the guidelines from Google's API Explorer, you can find it here:

Thank you!

Answer 1

How about this modification?

Modification points:

• Add headers using the access token.
• Add body for giving the title of created spreadsheet.

Modified script:

request({
    method: 'POST',
    uri: 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets?fields=properties%2Ftitle%2CspreadsheetId',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({properties: {title: "sampleTitle"}}),
}, (error, response, body) => {
    console.log(body);
});

Note:

• When you use this script, please use the access token including https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets to the scopes. This scope is used to create the spreadsheet.

Reference:

• spreadsheets.create

I actually got it to work! Similar to the previous response (thank you Tanaike!!!).

request({
method: 'POST',
url: 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets',
headers:{
  'Authorization': 'Bearer (access token goes here)'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
  properties: {
    title: "Spreadsheet Title Goes Here"
  }
})}, (error, response, body)=>{
    if(!error && response.statusCode == 200){
      var info = JSON.parse(body);
      console.log(info);
    } else {
      console.log(error);
    }
  })
