Question

I\'ve been using Google Sheets API, and following The Google Guide. However there is no example, even beyond the second page of google, to add a worksheet and write to a new she

I have the code to add a sheet as well, but it seems like you figured it out. Here is some code to add content to the sheet. It differs from what others have posted by a little bit, but it should help whoever sees this post.

In this code, it would insert the values of colNames into the row starting at (0,0). So if sheet uses this notation (row, col), then
(0,0)=timestamp
(0,1)=videoid
(0,2)=videoname
(0,3)=firstname
(0,4)=lastname
(0,5)=email

So the whole first row would be filled with the colNames values

        var reqs = new BatchUpdateSpreadsheetRequest();
        reqs.Requests = new List();
        string[] colNames = new [] { "timestamp", "videoid", "videoname", "firstname", "lastname", "email" };

        // Create starting coordinate where data would be written to

        GridCoordinate gc = new GridCoordinate();
        gc.ColumnIndex = 0;
        gc.RowIndex = 0;
        gc.SheetId = SHEETID; // Your specific sheet ID here

        rq = new Request();
        rq.UpdateCells = new UpdateCellsRequest();
        rq.UpdateCells.Start = gc;
        rq.UpdateCells.Fields = "*"; // needed by API, throws error if null

        // Assigning data to cells
        RowData rd = new RowData();
        List lcd = new List();
        foreach (String column in colNames)
        {
            ExtendedValue ev = new ExtendedValue();
            ev.StringValue = column;

            CellData cd = new CellData();
            cd.UserEnteredValue = ev;
            lcd.Add(cd);
        }
        rd.Values = lcd;

        // Put cell data into a row
        List lrd = new List();
        lrd.Add(rd);
        rq.UpdateCells.Rows = lrd;

        // It's a batch request so you can create more than one request and send them all in one batch. Just use reqs.Requests.Add() to add additional requests for the same spreadsheet
        reqs.Requests.Add(rq);

        // Execute request
        response = sheetsService.Spreadsheets.BatchUpdate(reqs, Spreadsheet.SpreadsheetId).Execute(); // Replace Spreadsheet.SpreadsheetId with your recently created spreadsheet ID
