I just had the idea that my website displays the public content of a Google Drive document. I was hoping it would be easy, as I was going to extract plain text and the document would be publicly available, so no authentication fraud would prevent me.
I looked at the Google REST API , but it turns out I can only get file metadata and / or the entire document file. Not only the contents of the document.
I don’t want to spend the daytime encoding to do this, I thought it would be nice to have, but can live with just a link to a file directly from my website. Has anyone tried this before? Has anyone experimented with the Google Drive API and felt how much work will be involved?
