Hello! Does anyone know how to publish the API with a url that doesn't change when making changes? Now every time I implement it changes the URL. It would be ideal to use your own domain to make requests like this: mydomain.com/read

Update the implantation. Go to: Implant->manage->new version. The link will be the same.
I'm using the PT-BR version, may the names vary due your region

Hello everyone! thanks, @nyancodeid for some insight and references on this code. I'm trying to create my own version and improve some things. If anyone interested, feel free to check this out: https://github.com/irfansofyana/sheets-api!

i am getting this error

do share the code where you are calling the doGet functions as well as log the req also .
