Turning of captcha on Google Apps - google-apps-script

I am generating Drive-folders on a Google Apps For Education domain.
Im running a Google Apps Script-program as an admin that uses the DriveApp. Every folder is shared to a group or user.
After about 100 folders i got an error and on the rerun I got in on the first folder.
When doing the equivalent task manually, I get a captcha-popup.
Conclusion: The captcha-requests renders my program useless. I most turn of captcha or make my program to handle them.
What can I do?

Where can i see the analytics of an Google App Script Deployment?

I created a small app on top of a spreadsheet (with GAS and HTML, CSS) and I deployed it.
Users can access to it without having to enter in the spreadsheet.
It works really well but i'm not able to see even the basic analytics (for eg. the number of viewers)
Thanks
Go to the project overview page. In the Google Apps Script web IDE, on the lefmost sidepanel click on Overview.
Also, if you have starred your project, go to https://script.google.com/home/starred
Rather than "viewers" you will see "users". If you have set your web-app as execute as you by anyone even anonymous, you will see only one user, you, as this page show the users that exectuted the scripts like the doGet function and the server-side functions called through google.script.run.
Note: https://script.google.com keep execution logs for the last 7 days. If you need to keep the logs longer you have to use another place to keep these logs, i.e. Cloud Logging (requires a Google Cloud standard project), Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Effective way to debug a Google Apps Script Web App

Unable to open Google xlsx spreadsheet / Also Google Drive permission Blocked

I have a Google Apps Script that I am currently using to successfully open a Google Sheets spreadsheet (read-only shared with my account) and perform some reading functions.
I received another spreadsheet that I would like to run similar processes on.
If I try:
SpreadsheetApp.openById("_______") (which works on the other sheet), I get Exception: Service Spreadsheets failed while accessing document with id _____" with this sheet. This spreadsheet is actually an xlsx on Google Drive (but appears it can still open in Google sheets) rather than a native Google sheet so I figured maybe that was the issue...?
So now I'm trying to instead access it as a Google Drive file using DriveApp.getFileById("____"). However now I get an authorization request to allow my script to access Google Drive. When I authorize it, I get:
This app is blocked
This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.
I haven't found a way to fix this. I'm on a private Google account, not using a company's Apps.
Any ideas?
Found a solution to the permission issue.
To work with Apps Script, I've modified this from #alper's solution which sources #tellowkrinkle's comment.
Do the following:
Go to https://console.developers.google.com and create a new project for yourself
Search for the Google Drive API in the search box at the top, and turn it on
Click OAuth consent screen on the left and set it up.
Assuming your account isn't part of an organization, you'll have to say your app is for external users and in testing
In the required scopes section, add .../auth/docs and .../auth/drive (I'm not sure which needed, it's probably only one of those). This will probably not be available if you didn't complete (2)
Add the accounts you want to use with your copy of gdrive as testers of your app. Only these accounts will be able to use your copy of gdrive, so everyone will have to compile their own (unless someone goes and gets theirs reviewed by Google). I only added my own account because I am the only one using my App Script which uses my Drive.
Click the 3 dots on the top right and select "Project settings". Make note of the "Project number".
Go to your Apps Script. Go to Resources > Cloud Platform project. Insert the project number from (4).
Next time you try to run your Apps Script, you'll be asked to Authorize but this time you'll have the chance to actually do it successfully.

How to use GAS functions in a spreadsheet created by a service account in a team drive?

In my company we use a team drive, where we store a template spreadsheet which our API server copies a lot of times. The spreadsheet contains a few custom Google App Script functions which should be copied as well.
Right now when the API copies the spreadsheet, the scripts stop working in the copy. According to this issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36762799 , service accounts can't execute scripts. However, in a Team Drive there are no owners. I even checked the permissions with Permissions.List from the Drive API and I can see that everyone is an organizer and the API does not allow me to specify another user as an owner, but the scripts still won't work (Error: Please try saving the project again). On the other hand, if I go and copy the generated sheet by hand, scripts execute just fine.
I tried moving everything to an add-on, however to my displeasure, it appears that service account-owned files can't execute add-on scripts as well (if the file is created by the bot, custom function names simply fail to resolve).
Does anyone know of a way to deal with this situation? Is there a more elegant solution besides using an actual account for the copying if that's even possible to do programmatically?

No Such User when trying to access google apps script editor

In my Google spreadsheet, when I go to "Tools->Script Editor..", I get a page saying "No Such User" Error. Any idea how to fix this?
I figure this could be a permissions issue, but not sure how to change permissions if required.
Finally i found the solution accidentally.
The issue is resolved by enabling GoogleAppsScript as part of your drive.
Open Google Drive in your web browser.
Click New > More > + Connect more Apps
and then select GoogleAppsScript.
Once i did this going back to script editor of my spreadsheet, no more gives any error.
Here is the link which contained this step:-
https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/web/quickstart/apps-script
Also there is additional problem about Invalid OAuth Client when trying to run the script. which i faced since each apps script has to be attached to a Google Cloud Project. This is accessible only to the person who originally created the file even after its in the team drive. In which case, you need to make a copy of the apps script available by going into File->Make a copy. And then in the Resources drop down , you will see Cloud Platform Project, upon clicking it you can now give the project number of the Google Cloud Platform project you created on console.cloud.google.com.

View/Manage Web Apps published through Google Apps Script Editor

Is there a way to view & manage the scripts I have deployed as a web app through the Google Apps Script Editor?
I stored a script on my google drive, opened it with Google Apps Script, and deployed via 'Publish -> Deploy as Web App'. After testing the script/webapp works correctly, I deleted the script project from my google drive and found that the web app is still functioning.
I can't find a way to view a list of, or manage the scripts after they have been published. Is there a console or dashboard that will show all my published scripts?
The file may still be available in the Trash or Archives folder. Searching for type:script will give you a list of all stand alone script files. Also type:script is:trashed will find any in the trash folder.
Finding files with bound scripts associated (the script is embedded in the file) as well as any with specific permissions can be done by looking at your account's permissions. This will list every file that has had some sort of permission request. If a bound script does not require any permissions granted, I know of no way to finding the file. To see the files you have granted permission to, use this link: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
