Google Docs

Integrate your application with the Google Docs API

🚀 Quickstart

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

Create an integration

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

Tenklo 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 Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:

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

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 Tenklo to inspect requests.

Implement Tenklo in your app

Follow our Auth implementation guide to integrate Tenklo in your app.
