Google Docs - Nango Docs

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Google Docs with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

Create an integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Google Docs.

Nango has credentials you can use for testing. Activate them in the dashboard.

Authorize Google Docs

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Google Docs. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Google Docs API

Let’s make your first request to the Google Docs API (fetch a specific document). Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:

cURL
Node

curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/v1/documents/{documentId}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"

Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run:

import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

const res = await nango.get({
    endpoint: '/v1/documents/{documentId}',
    providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
    connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data, null, 2));

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.

The {documentId} in the URL represents the ID of the document to retrieve.

✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
