Can't enter API credentials in Google Sheets credential window

Hi there, trying to add my google sheets API into the window but there is nowhere to add the credentials in the interface, been checking out tutorials online and they all have multiple fields to add the API info, but for some reason it’s not showing up for me, can you advise on what I should do? thx much!

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

You might be using n8n.cloud instead of self-hosted n8n. In the former case, you don’t have the option to use your own API, but use the API set up and pre-configured by n8n official. This is my understanding at least.

I’ve been using n8n.cloud since 2022. In very early version I remember there was still option to use own API. Since one day, it was removed.

Thanks so much for responding, I appreciate it. I don’t think that’s the issue as my friend is using the cloud version and there are a couple of fields where he needs to input the key and the API. These fields are missing on mine (please see picture). Without inputting those every time I run a workflow with google sheets it tells me that it doesn’t have the API key. Is this a current bug with the system? Any help with this would be so amazing!!

i have same problem as you


Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials?
