Today, we are going to actually start playing with Google Drive APIs. Previous parts served as the basis for implementing web apps using Google APIs. In part 3, we will use Google Drive’s file listing functions to list files and folders and display them on a page. I assume you have already gone through the authentication and Installation process.

To interact with APIs is a very common thing in Web Development, WordPress gives us the utility functions to interact with APIs. As you know to interact with an API requires good knowledge of cURL and many other things, WordPress takes this responsibility and wrap the inner stories into utility functions for you. “wp_remote_get“ is the function that gets the data for you from an API.
