Connections​

Google Docs OAuth2​

All requests to the Google Docs API must be authorized by an authenticated user.

The details of the authorization process, or "flow," for OAuth 2.0 vary somewhat depending on what kind of application you're writing. The following general process applies to all application types:

  1. When you create your application, you register it using the Google API Console. Google then provides information you'll need later, such as a client ID and a client secret.
  2. From APIs & Services > Library, enable the Google Docs API
  3. To create API Credentials navigate to Enabled APIs & Services > Credentials
    1. Select Create Credentials > OAuth Client ID
    2. Set the application type to ‘Web Application’
    3. Fill out the OAuth consent screen with an app name (your company or product's name), support email, app logo, domain, etc.
    4. Select Add Or Remove scopes, search Content API for Shopping, and check the boxes for the following scopes
      1. /auth/documents
      2. /auth/drive
      3. /auth/drive.file
  4. Under Authorized redirect URIs enter Prismatic's OAuth 2.0 callback URL: https://oauth2.prismatic.io/callbackClick CREATE.
    1. Take note of the Client ID and Client Secret that are generated, as you will enter them into Prismatic for Authentication.
