Streamlit Project

This repository contains all the necessary files to deploy a Streamlit application. This project securely handles Google credentials using Streamlit's secrets management system to interact with Google Sheets and Google Drive.

Overview

This Streamlit application allows users to submit responses that are stored in a Google Sheet. The app is deployed on Streamlit Cloud, and Google credentials are securely managed using the Streamlit secrets management system.

Files

• main.py: The main Streamlit application file.
• .streamlit/secrets.toml: Contains the Google credentials in TOML format.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.7 or higher

2. Add Google Credentials

To securely handle your Google credentials, use the Streamlit secrets management system. Convert your credentials.json to a TOML format and add it to the Streamlit secrets file.
