  • As this is the first question about Google Apps Script, here is a very brief description: it is a platform that helps people easily get programmatic access to Google apps data like Gmail messages, Google Drive files, etc. and also to certain elements that can't be accessed through one of the Google APIs. It offers a web-based IDE and has its own API.
  • The Google Apps Script API docs include a quickstart section, having subsections for different languages / platforms including JavaScript.
  • I thoroughly reviewed the quickstart overview and the JavaScript subsection and got it to work, but when trying the "How too... Execute a function" I got stuck; more specifically, I'm getting 404 errors.

  • - Google Workspace account. I'm the domain administrator.
  • - New Google Cloud project, created following the quickstart instructions
  • - New Google Apps Script project, created using the quickstart instructions

  • - Mac Mini Apple M1, MacOS Ventura 13.4.1.
  • - Google Chrome

  • Steps to reproduce the problem
  • 1. Read the links included above.

  • 4. Modify `index.html` to load `index.js`.
  • 5. Modify `index.html` in such a way that instead of calling ` createScript()` call `callScriptFunction()`.
  • 6. Create the Google Cloud standard project.
  • 7. Enable the Apps Script API.
  • 8. In the API section of the Cloud project, go to credentials.
  • 9. Add the ApiKey. Take note of it.
  • 9. Add the Web client
  • 10. Add the allowed URI. If you will run this locally add `http://localhost:8080`.
  • 11. Create the OAuth consent screen
  • 12. Grab the Google Cloud project id and add it to the Google Apps Script project on Project settings.
  • 13. Deploy Google Apps Script as API executable
  • 14. Get the script Id.
  • 15. Add the ApiKey, Client Id to the `index.html` file.

As this is the first question about Google Apps Script, here is a very brief description: it is a platform that helps people easily get programmatic access to Google apps data like Gmail messages, Google Drive files, etc. and also to certain elements that can't be accessed through one of the Google APIs. It offers a web-based IDE and has its own API.

The Google Apps Script API docs include a quickstart section, having subsections for different languages / platforms including JavaScript.

I thoroughly reviewed the quickstart overview and the JavaScript subsection and got it to work, but when trying the "How too... Execute a function" I got stuck; more specifically, I'm getting 404 errors.
