Google Workspace

Google Workspace APIs providing access to Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets. Best for workflows that need to manage files, read/write spreadsheets, or edit documents — storage and documents in one provider, unlike Notion (structured knowledge only). Gmail and Google Calendar are served separately by the Gmail and Google Calendar providers. 9 example endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Google Workspace API docs for full documentation.

This provider requires your own credentials — connect your API key or OAuth account before use.

This is a catch-all provider — any valid URL under https://www.googleapis.com is supported. Drive, Docs, and Sheets APIs. Multiple base URLs — use get_provider_docs for endpoint reference. The endpoints below are curated examples.
