I would like to know if it is possible to automatically generate a new document in Google Docs and then open it using the Docs editor. Our website hosts several files that could benefit from the collaborative editing features of Google Docs. However, I have encountered challenges while comparing the old Docs List API with the updated Google Drive API. Any guidance on how to implement this functionality would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I have worked on a similar solution in one of my projects and managed to integrate the Google Drive API for document creation with success. In that project, I used the Drive API to programmatically generate a new document by constructing a POST request and then captured the document ID from the response. Once I had the ID, I created a link to open the document in the Docs editor. It was crucial to handle authentication properly and monitor API limits. This approach allowed for a smooth and automated transition from file creation to collaborative editing.
