I need help with Google Chat API custom authentication
To assist you with Google Chat API custom authentication, you’ll need to use OAuth for Google services. Here’s an example of how you can set up a Pipedream component to make authenticated requests to the Google Chat API: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: “app”, app: “google”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace the URL with the endpoint you’re trying to reach in the Google Chat API const url = https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/...; return await axios($, { method: “POST”, // or “GET”, “PUT”, “DELETE”, etc., depending on the action url: url, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}, // Add any other required headers for the Google Chat API }, // Include the body or params for your request if needed }); }, });
How to authenticate a google chat account with specific scope
To authenticate a Google Chat account with a specific scope in Pipedream, you’ll need to use OAuth with the required scopes. Pipedream has default scopes configured for Google integrations, but if you need a specific scope for Google Chat, you may need to request that scope when setting up your Google app within Pipedream. Here’s an example of how to define a Pipedream component with a Google app prop and make an authenticated API request: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: “app”, app: “google”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Make an authenticated API request here return await axios($, { url: https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); }, });
How to authenticate a custom Google app with a specific scope
To authenticate a custom Google app with a specific scope in Pipedream, you’ll need to create a Google app within the Google Cloud Platform and configure the OAuth consent screen with the required scopes. Then, you can use the Google app credentials to set up the authentication in Pipedream. Here’s a general outline of the steps you would follow: 1. Go to the Google Cloud Platform and create a new project or select an existing one. 2. Navigate to the “APIs & Services” > “Credentials” section. 3. Configure the OAuth consent screen with the scopes you need for your app. 4. Create OAuth 2.0 client IDs and note down the client ID and client secret. 5. In Pipedream, when you create or edit a workflow, add a step that uses the Google app. 6. When configuring the step, you’ll be prompted to connect your Google account. Instead of using the default Pipedream app, you’ll select “Use a Custom OAuth App” and enter the client ID and client secret from your Google Cloud Platform project. Here’s an example Pipedream component code that includes a prop for the Google app and uses the axios function to make an authenticated request to a Google API endpoint: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace `your_specific_scope_url` with the scope URL you need const scope = 'your_specific_scope_url'; return await axios($, { url: `https://www.googleapis.com/some_google_api_endpoint`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, params: { // Include any required API parameters here }, }); }, }); Please replace your_specific_scope_url with the actual scope URL you need for your app, and some_google_api_endpoint with the specific Google API endpoint you’re trying to access. Remember to visit Google’s OAuth 2.0 Scopes for Google APIs to find the exact scope URLs required for the APIs you wish to access. If you need further assistance or have specific questions about scopes or the authentication process, please let me know!
It seems deleting a Google Chat Space is impossible in pipedream. What do you say?
Based on the information provided and the relevant Pipedream documentation, it appears that there is no direct mention of a pre-built Pipedream component for deleting a Google Chat Space. However, if Google Chat API supports this operation and you have the necessary permissions and OAuth scopes, you could potentially make an API request to perform this action using a custom Pipedream component. To determine if this is possible, you would need to consult the official Google Chat API documentation to see if there is an endpoint for deleting a space and what HTTP method and OAuth scopes are required for that operation. If such an endpoint exists, you could use the Pipedream component structure provided in the documentation to make an authenticated API request to Google Chat. Here’s a generic example of how you might structure the component, assuming the Google Chat API provides an endpoint for deleting a space: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: “app”, app: “google”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace space_id with the actual ID of the Google Chat Space you want to delete const space_id = “YOUR_SPACE_ID”; return await axios($, { method: “DELETE”, // Assuming the method is DELETE, replace with the correct HTTP method url: https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/${space_id}, // Replace with the correct endpoint headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); }, });
how to archive a Google space
To archive a Google Space, you would typically use the Google Chat API. However, as of my last update, Pipedream does not have a pre-built action for archiving a Google Space directly. If you need to interact with Google Chat or any specific Google service, you should use the Google API with the appropriate scopes and endpoints. Here’s a general example of how you might structure a Pipedream component to make an authenticated API request to a Google service: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace with the appropriate API endpoint and method to archive a Google Space return await axios($, { method: "POST", // or "GET", "PUT", "DELETE", etc., as required by the API url: `https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/{space}/archive`, // Replace with the correct endpoint headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, // Include any required body parameters or query parameters as needed }); }, }); Please replace {space} with the identifier of the Google Space you want to archive, and ensure you have the correct endpoint and HTTP method according to the Google Chat API documentation. If you need further assistance or if there’s a specific endpoint or action you’re looking for, please let me know, and I can provide more detailed guidance. If you’re looking to request a new integration or action, you can submit a request at New Pipedream Integration Request.
is there any alternative way for deleting a google spaces if it is impossible right now using the google chat api?
Based on the information provided and the relevant Pipedream documentation, there is no direct mention of functionality for deleting Google Spaces using the Google Chat API within the Pipedream platform. The Google Chat API itself may not support this action, as API capabilities are determined by the service provider (Google, in this case). If you are looking for a way to delete Google Spaces and it is not currently possible through the Google Chat API, you may need to explore other methods outside of the API, such as manual deletion through the Google Chat interface or checking if Google provides any alternative administrative tools for managing Spaces. If you believe this functionality should be available in Pipedream, or if you have a specific use case that requires this feature, you can submit a new integration request at New Pipedream Integration Request so that the Pipedream team can consider adding it in the future.

How can I check if a google space name already exists using the google chat API.
To check if a Google Chat space (room) name already exists using the Google Chat API, you would typically use the API to list spaces and then search for a space with the desired name. However, as of my last update, Google Chat API does not provide a direct method to check for the existence of a space by its name. Instead, you can list all spaces and iterate over them to check if any of them match the name you’re looking for. Here’s an example Pipedream component that demonstrates how you might list spaces and search for a specific space name using the Google Chat API: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: “app”, app: “google”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace ‘desired-space-name’ with the name of the space you’re checking for const desiredSpaceName = ‘desired-space-name’; let pageToken = null; let spaceExists = false; do { const response = await axios($, { url: https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces, params: { pageToken: pageToken, }, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); const spaces = response.spaces || []; spaceExists = spaces.some(space => space.displayName === desiredSpaceName); pageToken = response.nextPageToken; if (spaceExists) break; } while (pageToken); return spaceExists; }, });
