Google APIs

How it works

Each Google API exposes the capabilities of a particular service through documented operations. An application sends requests with the appropriate credentials and receives data or a result. Some integrations access a user's account with permission, while others use service-specific keys. The required setup and available operations differ between products.

What you can build

Build map experiences, spreadsheet reporting workflows, calendar integrations, and tools that connect existing business information to an application.

• Spreadsheet reporting connection

  Read approved spreadsheet data for a dashboard, or write prepared results back to a sheet that a team already uses for its reporting workflow.

• Location-based user experience

  Display a map with relevant places, help users find an address, or connect route information to a booking or delivery interface when needed.

Things to consider

Choose the specific APIs the product needs. Review permissions, quotas, billing, and data freshness for each service, and handle unavailable or rejected requests clearly.
