google-spreadsheets Error "Missing VISEO Bot Maker key - Read the documentation." #127

Closed nileio closed 2 years ago

nileio commented 5 years ago

Hi guys, The error "Missing VISEO Bot Maker key - Read the documentation." appears when trying to use spreadsheets node. Note, the error does not prevent the call to google apis.

index.js file of node-red-viseo-help seem to be responsible for throwing the error. It looks like its an updated version from the version in master. it is Alpha 0.2.

JpEncausse commented 5 years ago

Yes, a new release of VISEO Bot Maker is coming, most of Node-RED nodes will ask for a key in order to track anonymously node usage.

The key generator will be available soon, it will be free and it's not a requirement, if you don't provide the key, the Node-RED node will still working as usual without limitation.

We just need some stats to understand framework usages

nileio commented 5 years ago

@JpEncausse Guys, it is an open source project.. this Bot Maker does not make any sense for using google spreadsheets APIs and so I think you may like to leave this additional module as optional rather than add it as dependancy. I think the stats can be retrieved by community usage.

JpEncausse commented 5 years ago

As described in the README file the node-red-contrib-viseo is an opensource project to create chatbot. Because we like Node-RED we build 50+ nodes as open as possible on top of it.

The Google SpreadSheet node is a very important node for chatbots because it helps to put all the conversation in a spreadsheet so editable by non technical people, translators, designer, etc...

We have absolutly no idea of who is using what node and how. You seems to install it on it's own and that's good news if it works well. We try to make gerenic nodes, but standalone is not our primary focus.

Working on an opensource project is not a free. It takes A LOT of time. So we need to understand where to focus our work in order to stop useless nodes, impove others, etc ...

That's why we need anonymous statistics and KPI. It's a leverage to make the project survive. As you see, not providing the key, working offline, etc ... won't break the nodes.

@JpEncausse I totally understand and I do not underestimate the effort required in the project. Open source projects are driven by community and this is the essence in my humble opinion. The more issues/contributors you get the more successful it becomes. Also you could easily add a voting feature for new features, etc. In all cases, thanks for the explanation. I like the project and appreciate the team's efforts to make it better. Hopefully I can contribute, even with new improvement ideas.. Cheers

Please can you update on how to generate a key? It would be very surprising if the items don't work because they were released before a key generator.

friendodevil commented 4 years ago

Where do I paste/plugin the key in the node-red Google Sheets node?

we4sel commented 4 years ago

How soon is soon for the key generator to be available?

JpEncausse commented 4 years ago

You can generate a key for the VISEO Bot Maker components here: https://key.bot.viseo.io/

This site is down. Where can one get a key now? @JpEncausse

nobilisgkill4 commented 3 years ago

I was searching for a key and tried to visit the link above, but i get "Website unavailable". Any solution for that?

claracavalcante commented 3 years ago

Same here @nobilisgkill4

davehorton commented 3 years ago

I'm going to assume since this is still a problem that there is no fix forthcoming. Is there an alternate library that provides this functionality that anyone is aware of?

CaseyRo commented 3 years ago

@davehorton well the thing is, the functionality is there - it just throws an annoying error. If someone wants to fork this and get rid of the error, that might anger the maintainer enough to actually respond?

thisisjoyjacob commented 2 years ago

Still, the website is down..! I guess I must not reload it again.! Any updates post 2 years on this thing?

CaseyRo commented 2 years ago

@thisisjoyjacob I've since moved away from this to use https://github.com/sammachin/node-red-contrib-google-sheets - it does what I need better, is maintained and doesn't annoy me with error messages.
