Overview#
The Google Classroom API lets you tap into the educational space by managing courses, assignments, and student interactions programmatically. With this API, you can automate course creation, roster management, and content distribution, effectively bridging the gap between various educational tools and platforms. Leveraging Pipedream's serverless execution environment, you can build powerful workflows that respond to events in Classroom, sync data across platforms, and streamline the educational process for teachers and students alike.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_classroom: {
type: "app",
app: "google_classroom",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_classroom.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Course Management: Create workflows that automatically set up new courses at the beginning of a term, including setting up course materials in Google Drive and scheduling calendar events for class times. When a new term starts, this automation can save educators hours of setup time.
Assignment Distribution and Collection: As soon as assignments are created in Google Classroom, trigger a workflow on Pipedream that generates a template in Google Docs, shares it with the students, and then collects submitted assignments for review. This can vastly simplify the distribution and collection process for instructors.
Grading and Feedback Integration: When grades are posted in Google Classroom, use Pipedream to trigger notifications to students via email or a messaging app like Slack. Additionally, integrate with a tool like Google Sheets to automatically update a master gradebook with the latest scores.

Authentication#
Google Classroom uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Classroom account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Classroom 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 Classroom API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.emailhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.courses.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.coursework.studentshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.coursework.mehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.announcements.readonly- authorization
