I'm running Python Google Sheet API, and getting this error AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'valid'?

I'm new to Python Google Sheet API; Didn't get enough to try different things to resolve it.

from __future__ import print_function
import pickle
import os.path
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request

# If modifying these scopes, delete the file token.pickle.
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly']

# The ID and range of a sample spreadsheet.
SAMPLE_SPREADSHEET_ID = '1dQ_WGhmQHClQ8tY-0djLhOltF9aRhtU7p2WmDEdRFYg'
SAMPLE_RANGE_NAME = 'Sheet1!A2:E2'

def main():
"""Shows basic usage of the Sheets API.
Prints values from a sample spreadsheet.
"""
creds = 'C:\\Users\\Nimit\\Desktop\\Google\credentials.json'
# The file token.pickle stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
# created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
# time.
if os.path.exists('token.pickle'):
    with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token:
        creds = pickle.load(token)
# If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
if not creds or not creds.valid:
    if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
        creds.refresh(Request())
    else:
        flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
            'credentials.json', SCOPES)
        creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
    # Save the credentials for the next run
    with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as token:
        pickle.dump(creds, token)

service = build('sheets', 'v4', credentials = creds)

# Call the Sheets API
sheet = service.spreadsheets()
result = sheet.values().get(spreadsheetId=SAMPLE_SPREADSHEET_ID,
                            range=SAMPLE_RANGE_NAME).execute()
values = result.get('values', [])

if not values:
    print('No data found.')
else:
    print('Name, Major:')
    for row in values:
        # Print columns A and E, which correspond to indices 0 and 4.
        print('%s, %s' % (row[0], row[4]))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'valid'

You do not need to assign creds to json file location. The credentials will be automatically written to filesystem when you run it for the first time and log in.

creds = None
