Connect your Google Docs app for OAuth in Paragon
You'll need the following information to set up your Google App with Paragon Connect:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Scopes Requested
Note: You'll need to create a new project in Google Cloud Console if you don't already have one.
Paragon provides a redirect URL to send information to your Google app. To add the redirect URL to your Google app:
1. Copy the link under "Redirect URL" in your integration settings in Paragon. The Redirect URL is:
https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth
2. In your Google Cloud Console dashboard, navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials in the sidebar.
3. Press "+ Create Credentials", then select OAuth client ID.
4. Select "Web application" from the Application type drop-down menu.
Note: You'll need to configure Google's consent screen for access to Client ID and Client Secret if you haven't already.
5. Under Authorized redirect URIs, press the "+ Add URI" button.
6. Paste-in the redirect URL from Paragon.
7. Press the blue "Create" button.
Google provides you with the Client ID and Client Secret needed for the next steps after adding the redirect URL to your project.
2. Search for "Google Docs API" from the API Library.
3. Select the "Google Docs API".
4. Press the blue "Enable" button to enable the API for your application.
1. Select Google Docs from the Integrations Catalog.
2. Under Integrations > Connected Integrations > {YOUR_APP} > Settings, fill out your credentials from the end of Step 1 in their respective sections:
- Client ID: Found at the end of Step 1.
- Client Secret: Found at the end of Step 1.
- Permissions: Select the scopes you've requested for your application. They should contain
/documents.
Press the blue "Connect" button to save your credentials.
Note: Leaving the Client ID and Client Secret blank will use Paragon development keys.
Once your users have connected their Google Docs account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Google Docs API on behalf of connected users.
Any Google Docs API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration
// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
// Get the latest version of the specified document
await paragon.request("googledocs", "/v1/documents/<documentId>", {
method: "GET"
});
// Create a blank document with the provided title
await paragon.request("googledocs", "/v1/documents", {
method: "POST",
body: {
"title": "My Document",
}
});
