No idea about Google Docs, just wanted to say I love the Avatar!

Google Docs refers to Google sheets, slides, calendar, etc. in this context.

This is awesome work buddy. How easy would this be to have a spreadsheet, the first column is ChipID of an ESP8266, the ESP connects to Google spreadsheet to check that it's Chip id is in column 1 if so it then the user program. This would act as a nice form of license validation.

Is there a guide to set permissions, table setup etc and acquire Script ID's?

Your example works, trying to replicate this on my Google account is another matter.

Cheers

Yes I am writing a module which will make it very easy to add it to a spreadsheet and get all the required info to start logging. Will keep you updated. I'll make a guide as well.
