Gootenberg

A tool for handling everything a news developer needs from the Google API.

Why This?

Because news developers are writing their own utilities to process data from Google Drive for special projects rigs, and we can make something better if we stop all that duplication.

Installation

Install the package

$ npm install gootenberg

Usage

Create a Google Doc. Share it with your Google service account's client email (see Authenticating). Get the Doc ID for that document. You can find it in the URL between d/ and /edit like this:

docId

Import it, create a new instance of Gootenberg, authenticate it with your Google credentials, and run one of its asynchronous functions.

import Gootenberg from 'gootenberg';
import credentials from './credentials.json'

async function myFunc(){
  const goot = new Gootenberg();
  await goot.auth.jwt(credentials);

  const data = await goot.parse.archie('MY_DOC_ID');
}
