Google Drive

Step 1: Create a connection

To create a Google Drive connection, go to the Cloud Console and, in the Connectors page accessed from the sidebar, select Google Drive. Follow the steps to authorize your Google account.

Step 2: Install the google-api-python-client package

Once you have created the connection, you can use it in your code. We recommend using the google-api-python-client library to interact with Google Sheets.

You can install it using the "Requirements" tab in the Editor or by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install google-api-python-client

Step 3: Using the connection

You can get your credentials by importing the get_gdrive_credentials function from the abstra.connectors module. This function will return the credentials you need to access your Google Drive.

Creating new files

from abstra.connectors import get_gdrive_credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

credentials = get_gdrive_credentials()

service = build("drive", "v3", credentials=credentials)
files = service.files()

created_file = files.create(
    body={
        "name": "New File created from the Abstra integration",
    },
).execute()

Listing files

info

Currently, you can only list files created by the Abstra integration. In the future, we’ll add support for selecting specific files from your Google Drive that the Abstra Connector can access and manage.

from abstra.connectors import get_gdrive_credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

credentials = get_gdrive_credentials()

service = build("drive", "v3", credentials=credentials)
files = service.files()

results = files.list(pageSize=10, fields="nextPageToken, files(id, name)").execute()

items = results.get("files", [])

if not items:
    print("No files found.")
else:
    print("Files:")
    for item in items:
        print(f"{item['name']} ({item['id']})")
