Google Spreadsheet add ons source code

[fran...@gokam.fr]

Hi everyone 

Quick question : I have install many addons. Is there any way to see their source code ?

I want to see what is going on behind :)

No, sorry, the code has not been open sourced.

This add-on requests read access to your Google Analytics data so it can copy it to your spreadsheet (so you can view it).

All add-ons use Google's standard OAuth 2.0 system for requesting access to data via APIs, and you (the user of the add-on) are shown a permission request dialog prompt explaining what access level is being requested and what data that would allow the requestor to see.

If you have additional questions about how OAuth works at Google, you should ask in a different forum, as this group is specifically for questions about this add-on.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Apart from learning, I have a concern : 

How can I be sure of what Spreadsheet Add-ons authors is doing with my data ? Can they read them ? 

I'm thinking about sensitive data like emails, web stats, etc.

It would be awesome if this was open sourced. I like the setup and how it can grab the data from analytics. The reporting could be done better and I would like to make improvements to the reporting so it fits my needs better.

So hopefully at some point it is open sourced.

Is there any prospect that the source code may be opened up at any point in the future? I've been working on scripts that take the output of this add-on and send alerts via email and to Slack. I would happily contribute those into a shared repo if that was deemed helpful.
