Questions tagged [google-docs]

Questions related to interacting with Google word processing Documents programmatically. Usage questions about the web application should be posted at Web Applications Stack Exchange.

Google Docs is a cloud-based application and service for creating and collaborating on word processing documents. The service supports an internal API for Google Apps Script as well as an External API.

Note: Google has historically used the brand "Google Docs" to encompass a suite of products, but since conforming to that would introduce ambiguity here, the tag is specifically for word processing documents while refers to the suite.
