--- name: google-drive description: | Google Drive API integration with managed OAuth. List, search, create, and manage files and folders. Use this skill when users want to interact with Google Drive files. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY --- # Google Drive Access the Google Drive API with managed OAuth authentication. List, search, create, and manage files and folders. ## Quick Start ```bash # List files python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/drive/v3/files?pageSize=10') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/{native-api-path} ``` Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Google Drive API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `www.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Google OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-drive&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-drive'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "google-drive", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple Google Drive connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/drive/v3/files?pageSize=10') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection. ## API Reference ### List Files ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files?pageSize=10 ``` With query: ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files?q=name%20contains%20'report'&pageSize=10 ``` Only folders: ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files?q=mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.folder' ``` Files in specific folder: ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files?q='FOLDER_ID'+in+parents ``` With fields: ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files?fields=files(id,name,mimeType,createdTime,modifiedTime,size) ``` ### Get File Metadata ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId}?fields=id,name,mimeType,size,createdTime ``` ### Download File Content ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId}?alt=media ``` ### Export Google Docs ```bash GET /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId}/export?mimeType=application/pdf ``` ### Create File (metadata only) ```bash POST /google-drive/drive/v3/files Content-Type: application/json { "name": "New Document", "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.document" } ``` ### Create Folder ```bash POST /google-drive/drive/v3/files Content-Type: application/json { "name": "New Folder", "mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.folder" } ``` ### Update File Metadata ```bash PATCH /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId} Content-Type: application/json { "name": "Renamed File" } ``` ### Move File to Folder ```bash PATCH /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId}?addParents=NEW_FOLDER_ID&removeParents=OLD_FOLDER_ID ``` ### Delete File ```bash DELETE /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId} ``` ### Copy File ```bash POST /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId}/copy Content-Type: application/json { "name": "Copy of File" } ``` ## File Uploads Google Drive supports three upload types depending on file size and whether you need to include metadata. ### Simple Upload (Media) For files up to 5MB when you don't need to set metadata. ```bash POST /google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=media Content-Type: text/plain ``` **Python Example:** ```python import urllib.request, os file_content = b'Hello, this is file content!' url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=media' req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=file_content, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain') response = urllib.request.urlopen(req) ``` ### Multipart Upload For files up to 5MB when you need to include metadata (name, description, etc.). ```bash POST /google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary=boundary --boundary Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 {"name": "myfile.txt", "description": "My file"} --boundary Content-Type: text/plain --boundary-- ``` **Python Example:** ```python import urllib.request, os, json boundary = '----Boundary' metadata = json.dumps({'name': 'myfile.txt', 'description': 'My file'}) file_content = 'File content here' body = f'''--{boundary}\r Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8\r \r {metadata}\r --{boundary}\r Content-Type: text/plain\r \r {file_content}\r --{boundary}--'''.encode() url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart' req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=body, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', f'multipart/related; boundary={boundary}') response = urllib.request.urlopen(req) ``` ### Resumable Upload (Large Files) For large files (recommended for files > 5MB). This approach: 1. Initiates a session - Gets an upload URI 2. Uploads in chunks - Sends file in pieces 3. Supports resume - Can continue from where it left off if interrupted **Step 1: Initiate Upload Session** ```bash POST /google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 X-Upload-Content-Type: application/octet-stream X-Upload-Content-Length: {"name": "large_file.bin"} ``` Response includes `Location` header with the upload URI. **Step 2: Upload Content** ```bash PUT Content-Length: Content-Type: application/octet-stream ``` **Python Example (Complete):** ```python import urllib.request, os, json file_path = '/path/to/large_file.bin' file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path) # Step 1: Initiate resumable upload session url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=resumable' metadata = json.dumps({'name': 'large_file.bin'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=metadata, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8') req.add_header('X-Upload-Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream') req.add_header('X-Upload-Content-Length', str(file_size)) response = urllib.request.urlopen(req) upload_uri = response.headers['Location'] # Step 2: Upload file in chunks (e.g., 5MB chunks) chunk_size = 5 * 1024 * 1024 with open(file_path, 'rb') as f: offset = 0 while offset < file_size: chunk = f.read(chunk_size) end = offset + len(chunk) - 1 req = urllib.request.Request(upload_uri, data=chunk, method='PUT') req.add_header('Content-Length', str(len(chunk))) req.add_header('Content-Range', f'bytes {offset}-{end}/{file_size}') response = urllib.request.urlopen(req) offset += len(chunk) result = json.load(response) print(f"Uploaded: {result['id']}") ``` **Resuming Interrupted Uploads:** If an upload is interrupted, query the upload URI to get current status: ```python req = urllib.request.Request(upload_uri, method='PUT') req.add_header('Content-Length', '0') req.add_header('Content-Range', 'bytes */*') response = urllib.request.urlopen(req) # Check Range header in response to get current offset ``` ### Update File Content To update an existing file's content: ```bash PATCH /google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files/{fileId}?uploadType=media Content-Type: text/plain ``` **Python Example:** ```python import urllib.request, os file_id = 'YOUR_FILE_ID' new_content = b'Updated file content!' url = f'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/upload/drive/v3/files/{file_id}?uploadType=media' req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=new_content, method='PATCH') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain') response = urllib.request.urlopen(req) ``` ### Upload to Specific Folder Include the folder ID in the metadata: ```python metadata = json.dumps({ 'name': 'myfile.txt', 'parents': ['FOLDER_ID'] }) ``` ### Share File ```bash POST /google-drive/drive/v3/files/{fileId}/permissions Content-Type: application/json { "role": "reader", "type": "user", "emailAddress": "user@example.com" } ``` ## Query Operators Use in the `q` parameter: - `name = 'exact name'` - `name contains 'partial'` - `mimeType = 'application/pdf'` - `'folderId' in parents` - `trashed = false` - `modifiedTime > '2024-01-01T00:00:00'` Combine with `and`: ``` name contains 'report' and mimeType = 'application/pdf' ``` ## Common MIME Types - `application/vnd.google-apps.document` - Google Docs - `application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet` - Google Sheets - `application/vnd.google-apps.presentation` - Google Slides - `application/vnd.google-apps.folder` - Folder - `application/pdf` - PDF ## Code Examples ### JavaScript ```javascript const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/drive/v3/files?pageSize=10', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); ``` ### Python ```python import os import requests response = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/drive/v3/files', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={'pageSize': 10} ) ``` ## Notes - Use `fields` parameter to limit response data - Pagination uses `pageToken` from previous response's `nextPageToken` - Export is for Google Workspace files only - **Upload Types**: Use `uploadType=media` for simple uploads (up to 5MB), `uploadType=multipart` for uploads with metadata (up to 5MB), `uploadType=resumable` for large files (recommended for > 5MB) - **Upload Endpoint**: File uploads use `/upload/drive/v3/files` (note the `/upload` prefix) - **Resumable Uploads**: For large files, use resumable uploads with chunked transfer (256KB minimum chunk size, 5MB recommended) - **Max File Size**: Google Drive supports files up to 5TB - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping. ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Google Drive connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Drive API | ### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name 1. Ensure your URL path starts with `google-drive`. For example: - Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/google-drive/drive/v3/files` - Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/drive/v3/files` ## Resources - [Drive API Overview](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3) - [List Files](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/list) - [Get File](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/get) - [Create File](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/create) - [Update File](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/update) - [Delete File](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/delete) - [Export File](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/export) - [Upload Files](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/manage-uploads) - [Resumable Uploads](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/manage-uploads#resumable) - [Search Query Syntax](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/search-files) - [Maton Community](https://discord.com/invite/dBfFAcefs2) - [Maton Support](mailto:support@maton.ai)
