问题
I'm attempting to access a spreadsheet that's under the "google.com" domain using the Google Drive Java API through a service account. I need to export several of the worksheets contained within the document.
I've been able to create and use a service account (used via the Java API) but am not sure how to go about access, or if what I'm trying to do is even viable. I saw the following page: https://developers.google.com/drive/web/delegation but it seems highly unlikely that a service account I'm working with will be granted access to the google.com corporate domain. Our account contact at Google suggested we check the forums for some advice.
Given this, I have a couple of questions about approach:
- Am I misunderstanding the access requirements? More specifically is there a way to grant a service account access to a specific document?
- Is this task (worksheet export) better suited to the Spreadsheets API? That API seemed focused on operating within a spreadsheet, and the drive API seems to deal with file/document management.
- Will a copy of the document to a different domain be required?
My guess is that we will need to copy the document, but I wanted to be sure, and to make sure that I'm understanding the APIs and access correctly.
Thanks!

Do you have access to the file? try to use the method files.get https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/get if you receive a 200 response then you have access, try to find the parameter exportlinks with those links you can export the file to different formats. otherwise you won't be able to do it.
Only people that have been granted access to the file, can access it. in the case of service account with delegation approved by the domain admin, the service account can impersonate people in that domain. if the user it is impersonating does not have access to a certain file, the service account wont have access either.
To export the file is better with the Drive API, as you mentioned the Spreadsheets API is to manage the content of the spreadsheet.
If you want to modify the information without modifying the original file, then yes.
hope this helps.

You also have to grant the service account in the drive file you want to access to. Just Share the document you want to get access with the EMAIL ADDRESS that appears in the Google Developers Console (e.g. XXXXX@developer.gserviceaccount.com)
