Don’t waste time learning the Google Drive API behaviour

Use a pre-configured API client and OAuth2 implementation

Consume and transform the Google Drive API with functions

Host and scale your integration for free

Monitor and log every API call to the Google Drive API out of the box.

Integrate into your app within seconds using our integration clients

As a developer, I want to build an integration on Google Drive

On Bearer

Clone the template

npm init bearer google-drive -t -d providers/google-drive
cd google-drive

Configure your API credentials

npm run bearer setup:auth
 ? Enter Google Drive Client ID:  
 ? Enter Google Drive Client Secret:

Setup the integration with your Google Drive OAuth2 credentials. This will allow you to make authenticated API requests. Don't know your Google Drive OAuth2 credentials?

Test the pre-built function

npm run bearer invoke defaultFunction

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1oB6jDTYUb8_UznDhhL5RQ083Z5zn4RacuUma22_8byQ",
      "url": "https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oB6jDTYUb8_UznDhhL5RQ083Z5zn4RacuUma22_8byQ",
      "name": "List of bears",
      "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet"
    },
    {
      "id": "1qRJlkvh9KOWKoGb9TguXFNEBlMP_Www_Tp-A3mxbNmg",
      "url": "https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qRJlkvh9KOWKoGb9TguXFNEBlMP_Www_Tp-A3mxbNmg",
      "name": "giant panda vs. brown bear",
      "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.presentation"
    }
  ]
}

Code your own function

npm run bearer generate:function myFunction
    create: functions/myFunction.ts
Function generated
✨ Done

Use your function to call any Google Drive endpoint and map the data to your app models.

Deploy your integration

npm run bearer push
Refreshing tokens... done
  ✓ Generate bundle
  ✓ Transfer bundle
🐻 Integration successfully pushed.

Once your integration is ready, deploy it on the Bearer platform and you’re good to go!

On Your App

Add a Connect Component

JSReact

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@bearer/js/lib/bearer.production.min.js"></script>
<script>
const bearerClient = bearer('BEARER_CLIENT_ID')
bearerClient.connect(
  'INTEGRATION_UUID', 
  'YOUR_SETUP_ID', 
  { authId: 'YOUR_USER_IDENTIFIER' }
)
</script>

Once users log in with their Google Drive account, your functions are able to query the API using their credentials.

Call your functions

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@bearer/js/lib/bearer.production.min.js"></script>
<script>
const bearerClient = bearer('BEARER_CLIENT_ID')
bearerClient.invoke('INTEGRATION_UUID', 'FUNCTION_NAME', {
  query: { params: 'value' }
})
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Successfully invoked function')
  })
  .catch(() => {
    console.log('Something went wrong')
  })
