Google Classroom 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 sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,

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
