Authenticate with Google OAuth 2.0

Google provides many public APIs that you can use in Superblocks. Some, like Google Analytics, Google Drive, and Google Sheets are available as Superblocks integrations. Others you can connect to using Superblocks REST API Integration.

Google's APIs are authenticated and require that you configure OAuth to connect to them. This guide walks through how to configure an OAuth 2.0 client in Google, and use it in Superblocks to connect to APIs.
