If I set up a Google Sheets API instance and a Google Drive API instance and then connect to the Google Sheet using the credentials key from a python script (application) on my desktop. This script performs basic CRUD operations.
My question:
Is this connection secure? In other words does the data travel over the Internet plain text or encrypted?
If not secure...how can I ensure the data securely travels from python script to Google Sheets?
I have searched for API data integrity but no luck finding out if the connection to the API need TLA or SSL.
The network calls are secure since they must be using https calls and thus are not transported in plane text.  Post a link to the python script if you want someone to check here.
You do have to trust google with all your data.
