Google Drive API examples & templates
Use these vals as a playground to view and fork Google Drive API examples and templates on Val Town. Run any example below or find templates that can be used as a pre-built solution.
gsheet_call
@mattx
Script
gsheet_call Wrapper around Google Sheets API v4. Parameters service_account: JSON string containing Google Service Account key sheet_id: Google Sheet ID method: HTTP method to use action: Full URL with https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/{spreadsheetId}/ removed data: HTTP request body Requirements a Google Cloud service account the Google Sheets API v4 enabled in your Google Cloud project the spreadsheet ID (provide it in the sheet_id parameter) Instructions Share the spreadsheet with the service account Make a JSON key for the service account, then set it as a secret. Use the secret for the service_account parameter. Figure out the action you want to perform. You will need to provide everything that comes after {spreadsheetId}/ as the action parameter. For example: values/A1:C1:append?valueInputOption=RAW Figure out the request body. For example: {values: [["foo", "bar", "baz"]]}
pipedream
@stevekrouse
Script
Pipedream helpers Pipedream offers an Accounts API to handle OAuth for you, automatically, and for free. How to do it is covered in this guide . The helper functions below can make it easier to work with various Google API. For example, I used them like so to get all my free/busy times for this week from all my google calendars: import { pipeDreamGoogle } from "https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/pipedream";
const accountId = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_GCAL_ACCOUNT_ID_FROM_PIPEDREAM";
const calendar = await pipeDreamGoogle("calendar", accountId);
// Function to get free/busy information
async function getFreeBusyTimes(calendarId: string) {
const now = new Date();
const startOfWeek = new Date(now);
startOfWeek.setDate(now.getDate() - now.getDay());
const endOfWeek = new Date(startOfWeek);
endOfWeek.setDate(startOfWeek.getDate() + 6);
const requestBody = {
timeMin: startOfWeek.toISOString(),
timeMax: endOfWeek.toISOString(),
items: [{ id: calendarId }],
};
const freeBusyResponse = await calendar.freebusy.query({
requestBody,
});
return freeBusyResponse.data.calendars[calendarId].busy;
}
const calendars = (await calendar.calendarList.list()).data.items;
const freeBusy = await Promise.all(calendars.map(calendar => getFreeBusyTimes(calendar.id)));
console.log(freeBusy); In order for this to work you need to follow the instructions in this guide to save your pipedream API key into your Val Town Environment Variables under pipedream , then connect the google account you care about to Pipedream, and copy it's Pipedream "account id" into your val code. Let me know if you need any help by commenting on this val!
