Google Keep

API

API for managing Google Keep notes (read, write, format)

Overview

The Google Keep API is a RESTful service enabling programmatic interaction with Google Keep notes. It provides endpoints for creating (text, lists, images), reading, updating (labels, colors, checkboxes), and deleting notes. Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include integrating Keep with productivity tools, automating note workflows (e.g., syncing meeting minutes), backing up notes, or embedding Keep functionality into custom apps. Authentication requires OAuth 2.0 for secure user data access, adhering to Google’s security standards.
