This is a simple way to retrieve Google Docs written in the ArchieML format as json for web apps. It was created for the Quartz things team, which uses it as part of our build process to streamline the editing of our work.
To install run
npm install -g aml-gdoc-server
in your terminal shell
To start the server run
aml-gdoc-server
in your terminal shell
The first time you start the server it will prompt you to provide it with Google API credentials. You will be given instructions on securing those. These credentials and subsequent authorization tokens are saved in a hidden file at ~/.aml-gdoc-credentials in json format
After the one time setup procedures are completed, all future instances of the server will start immediately upon running aml-gdoc-server in your shell
The server defaults to port 6006 i.e. "Goog."
ArchieML formatted Google Docs can can be retrieved using this url structure http://127.0.0.1:6006/{google-doc-key}
