Photoshop Scripting Connect Google Sheet

[e.gordinski]

Hi! I need to implement the licensing of the script.

I came up with this way:

1. When you run the script, the script goes to a document on Google Drive and parses the keys from it.

2. The script checks for a match with the user's key on his computer

3. If everything is okay, the script works. If not, it closes.

My problem is that I don't understand how I can pull the file from the Google Drive link. Maybe someone has a solution? Thank you in advance!

They are just URLs like any other that can be accessed using the normal file and socket functions. Not sure what more you need.

Thanks for the reply!

Here I don't understand how to access a file using a socket. Maybe you have an example? I would appreciate it!

You can also use a tool like cURL or command-line CyberDuck to get the external document. Those two will be much more powerful and flexible than what Extendscript has built-in.
