Google Sheets API: proper GET construction

I want to get the value of Sheet2's cell A2 in Google Sheet ID "ABC123" using a GET construction.

https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/ABC123/values:batchGet?ranges=Sheet2!A2:A2&key=myverysecretkey123

gives me...

{
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "The caller does not have permission",
    "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
  }
}

I created the API key at https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials but how do I connect Google Sheet ID "ABC123" with this API? (or is that even the next step?)

There's such thing as Authorization and Scopes when performing such requests. Try the Javascript Quickstart so you can see the AUTH flow including the use of scopes.

There's a snippet there where GET is used

function listMajors() {

        gapi.client.sheets.spreadsheets.values.get({
          spreadsheetId: '1BxiMVs0XRA5nFMdKvBdBZjgmUUqptlbs74OgvE2upms',
          range: 'Class Data!A2:E',
   . . .
