I know it's possible to scrape websites but is it possible to have Google Sheets scrape a Google Doc for data? For example, if I have a bunch of google docs and they all have a line that says last updated: mm/dd/yyyy . Is it possible to have a google sheet with urls to the docs and have them scrape for the date
Solution
With the use of a script in your Spreadsheet you can actually retrieve information from any document of your drive. With the DocumentApp class in Apps Script you can actually retrive the body of your document with this method. Moreover, you can make searches using the findText() method of the Body class as shown here.
Therefore yes, with a script you could easily search a document for a sepecific text pattern like yours mm/dd/yyyy.
For more info about the DocumentApp functionallities check this documentation.
I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you need anything else or if you did not understood something. :)
I am trying to use the Google Ruby API to get all the text from a google doc. Currently on their website it has examples on how to do this using Java and Python, but not ruby.
I am able to get all content from the body using the following code:
document = service.get_document document_id
data = document.body.content
This returns a really ugly Google structural element.
Anyone achieved this before, if so how? Any help would be great.
You can extract the text of the google doc using the v3 API.
Use the following URL to under the API

I'm looking for a way to edit headers in Excel document online. I start looking at Graph API, but I don't see any way to do so.
Is there any documentation regarding this issue?
The Microsoft Graph API does not not support changing the header or footer of an Excel document.
I would recommend adding your suggestion to the UserVoice site.
