Google sheets as remote dataset

I am attempting to use a Google Sheet as a Remote Dataset in Xibo CMS 2.3.7, but the “test data URL” keeps failing with “400 Bad Request” response.

The Google Sheet is published to the web as a CSV file, but it does require a login to access it, it is not public. This is a requirement of our company, we cannot make Google docs public. I have supplied a username and password on the Authentication tab, but the test still fails. It appears to be failing because of the login requirement.

Has anyone else been able to link a Google sheet published as a CSV successfully when credentials are required? I have not been able to find much in the way of instructions for doing this.

Hello and welcome to the Xibo community!

The Google Sheet would need to be shared publicly as it wont allow for login credentials to be applied to access it.
