Tips

How to get the client credentials

You first need to create a google cloud project following https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-project. Then, get the client id and client secret from your newly created project.

Finaly, set the following environment variables:

• STD_CLIENT_ID: the client id
• STD_CLIENT_SECRET: the client secret
• STD_REDIRECT_URI (optional, default to http://localhost:3000/callback): the redirect uri used to retrieve the token once you are authenticated. A local server is created using this hostname and port to receive the callback request from the google auth flow.

Saves file

Saves files are in JSON format following this structure:

• path (str): Path of the element to save
• options (array)
  • mimeType (str): mimeType of the element to save
  • deleteExisting (bool): delete first encountered file or folder with the same name as the element to save
  • baseFolderId (str): Id of the folder where the element to save will be uploaded
  • ignore (array): List of files and folders to ignore within the element to save
