Overview
The Google Docs API reads and writes Google Docs. Auth is OAuth 2.0 (unauthenticated requests return 400, verified).
Quick Start
Requires OAuth credentials — unauthenticated calls fail (verified 400):
curl "https://docs.googleapis.com/v1/documents/YOUR_DOC_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN"Authentication
- Create a Google Cloud project → enable Docs API.
- OAuth 2.0 or service account → bearer token.
Rate Limits & Notes
- Free; Google Cloud quotas apply.
- Read/write documents, batch updates.
FAQ
Is Google Docs free? The API is free within Cloud quotas.
Why 400 without auth? OAuth is required (verified) — configure credentials first.
What can I do? Read/write Docs content.
