You can find your Google app credentials by visiting your Google Cloud Console dashboard.

You'll need the following information to set up your Google App with Paragon Connect:

Add the Redirect URL to your Google app

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.

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.

Connecting to Google Drive

Once your users have connected their Google Drive account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Google Drive API on behalf of connected users.

See the Google Drive REST API documentation for their full API reference.

Any Google Drive 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>);
            
// Query Files
await paragon.request("googledrive", `/files?q=${
  encodeURIComponent('name="test"')
}`, {
  method: "GET"
});
