{'sheet1': {'id': 3}} i get this output but my spreadsheet didn't change?????

id is an "extra data point" that sheety will generate. It won't be part of the column names you are trying to populate.

for debugging :

  1. Check first that you have actually created a new sheet to be able to edit it, not the one provided by angela.

  2. Once you create the sheet make sure you add the headers ( date , time , exercise,duration, calories ) so that it will be able to update and avoid giving you (undefined 0 ) and other error {
    "sheet1": {
    "id": 2
    }
    }

  3. most importantly remember to change the ""workout stated in angela sheet """ in the for loop .
    for exercise in result["exercises"]:
    sheet_inputs = {
    here instead of workouts place the name of your sheet, sheet1 in my example. "sheet1": {
    "date": today_date,
    "time": now_time,
    "exercise": exercise["name"].title(),
    "duration": exercise["duration_min"],
    "calories": exercise["nf_calories"]

I think anyone who has the error of unauthorized can check both requests of the first post and the second get, if one of the request you forget to paste auth or token, you will get the error. PLS CHECK THE BOTH REQUESTS!

BEARER TOKEN AUTHENTICATION FIX
For me it was probably the bearer token you create at Sheety, I imagine it didn't meet some parameters so I tried copying the token that gets created for you in the Basic authentication from username and password and changed it a little and that worked.
Hope it helps someone

It works like that:
basic = HTTPBasicAuth('username', 'pass')

responses = requests.post(url=SHEETY_API, json=my_data, auth=basic)

So much easier just using the basic authentication. like the comment above just don't forget
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

  1. I was able to fixed the problem after removing the "Bearer" from the Authorization header. i.e

" req_body = {
"workout" : {
"date": date,
"time": current_time,
"exercise": exercise.title(),
"duration": duration,
"calories": calories
}
}

    sheety_header = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer_token}"
    }
    sheety_url = "https://api.sheety.co/YOUR_KEY/copyOfMyWorkouts/workouts"

    response = requests.post(url=sheety_url, json=req_body, headers=sheety_header)
    "
    
    
    
    **To This:**
    
    
    
    "req_body = {
        "workout" : {
        "date": date,
        "time": current_time,
        "exercise": exercise.title(),
        "duration": duration,
        "calories": calories
        }
    }

    sheety_header = {
        **"Authorization": f"{bearer_token}"**
    }
    sheety_url = "https://api.sheety.co/YOUR_KEY/copyOfMyWorkouts/workouts"

    response = requests.post(url=sheety_url, json=req_body, headers=sheety_header)"
    
    2. And you can also check your google account under security, and make sure you allow Sheety access to your google sheet.
    
    3. Check your endpoint well
