You can also restore databases from google spreadsheet by following api.

ActiveRecordToGoogleSpreadsheet.restore_from_spreadsheet(session, "$SPREADSHEET_KEY")

Then your databases will apply data from google spreadsheet.

There are some other api like this.

Product.where('price < 50').to_google_spreadsheet(session, "$SPREADSHEET_KEY", row_offset: 10, worksheet_title: true)

The variable session is GoogleDrive::Session.

You can follow the following url to get GoogleDrive::Session.

Or ActiveRecordToGoogleSpreadsheet provide other way to get session.

//You can use the following code to login google account to grant auth code
redirect_to ActiveRecordToGoogleSpreadsheet.google_login_url

//Then put following code to the callback url controller function
ActiveRecordToGoogleSpreadsheet.setup_session(params['code'])

//Then you can get session now.
session = ActiveRecordToGoogleSpreadsheet.get_session()

Good Luck.
