Google Drive Overview#

The Google Drive API on Pipedream allows you to automate various file management tasks, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting files within your Google Drive. You can also share files, manage permissions, and monitor changes to files and folders. This opens up possibilities for creating workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps and services, streamlining document handling, backup processes, and collaborative workflows.

Trigger Code#

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Drive	`googleDrive`	`app`	This component uses the Google Drive app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Folders	`folders`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Include Link	`includeLink`	`boolean`	Upload file to your File Stash and emit temporary download link to the file. Google Workspace documents will be converted to PDF. See the docs to learn more about working with files in Pipedream.
	`dir`	`dir`

Trigger Authentication#

Google Drive uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Drive account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Drive and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Drive API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

About Google Drive#

Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service which allows you to create and share your work online, and access your documents from anywhere.

Action#

Create Report on Google Ads

Description:Generates a report from your Google Ads data. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v21/GoogleAdsService/Search?transport=rest)

Google Ads Overview#

The Google Ads API lets you programmatically manage your Google Ads data and
campaigns. You can use the API to automate common tasks, such as:

Creating and managing campaigns
Adding and removing keywords
Adjusting bids

You can also use the API to get information about your campaigns, such as:

Campaign stats
Keyword stats
Ad performance

The Google Ads API is a powerful tool that lets you manage your Google Ads data
and campaigns programmatically. With the API, you can automate common tasks,
such as creating and managing campaigns, adding and removing keywords, and
adjusting bids. You can also use the API to get information about your
campaigns, such as campaign stats, keyword stats, and ad performance.

Customizing API requests from within the Pipedream workflow builder

The Pipedream components interact with Google Ads API through an interal proxy service, which protects Pipedream's developer token.

The component accepts a standard Google Ads API request object with the following structure:

const googleAdsReq = { method: "get|post|put|delete", // HTTP method url: "/v21/...", // Google Ads API endpoint path headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.googleAds.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: {}, // Optional request body for POST/PUT requests };

To make different API calls while using the proxy:

Modify the url path to match your desired Google Ads API endpoint
Update the method to match the required HTTP method
Add any necessary request body data in the data field
Include any required headers (Authorization is automatically included)

Example for a custom query:

const googleAdsReq = { method: "post", url: "/v16/customers/1234567890/googleAds:search", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.googleAds.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: { query: "SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name FROM campaign", }, };

The proxy endpoint will remain the same: https://googleads.m.pipedream.net

Using Google Ads with the Connect API Proxy

To interface with Google Ads via the Connect API Proxy, you need to nest the request like this:

Important notes:

The upstream URL in this case is Pipedream's proxy service for Google Ads: https://googleads.m.pipedream.net
Like in the above examples, you'll define the Google Ads URL with the url param in the body
The method to the Connect Proxy should always be a POST, since it's actually targeting the Google Ads proxy (you can define the method for the Google Ads request in options.body.method)

Using the Pipedream SDK

const pd = createBackendClient({ apiHost: process.env.API_HOST, credentials: { clientId: process.env.CLIENT_ID, clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET, }, environment: process.env.ENVIRONMENT, projectId: process.env.PROJECT_ID, }); const pdGoogleAdsUrl = "https://googleads.m.pipedream.net"; const resp = await pd.makeProxyRequest( { searchParams: { external_user_id: process.env.EXTERNAL_USER_ID, account_id: process.env.ACCOUNT_ID, }, }, { url: pdGoogleAdsUrl, options: { method: "POST", body: { url: "/v19/customers:listAccessibleCustomers", method: "GET", // data: {} // If you need to send a body with a POST request, define it here }, }, } );

Using the Connect REST API

Remember to use the Base64 encoded Pipedream endpoint for Google Ads: https://googleads.m.pipedream.net

curl -X POST "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{your_project_id}/proxy/{url_safe_base64_encoded_url}?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id={apn_xxxxxxx}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \ -H "x-pd-environment: {development | production}" \ -d '{ "url": "/v19/customers:listAccessibleCustomers", "method": "GET", # "data": {} # If you need to send a body with a POST request, define it here }'
