Save a Google Doc as a txt file.

npx doc2txt 1StMiAtcY6bY6yEIQp5pVSGdIHSnZG-kFspdmsSzAJdE --outpath gettysburg.txt

npm install -g doc2txt

You'll also need to click the "Enable the Google Docs API" button and save the JSON file to ~/.doc2txt-credentials.json.

The first time you run doc2txt you'll be prompted for an authorization token. Follow the CLI instructions to complete the OAuth ceremony.

Requiring doc2txt and processing the text also works:

const doc2txt = require('doc2txt');
const piglatin = require('pig-latin');

async function main(){
  const str = await doc2txt('1StMiAtcY6bY6yEIQp5pVSGdIHSnZG-kFspdmsSzAJdE');

  console.log(piglatin(str)); // Ourfay orescay andway evensay earsyay agoway...
}
main().catch(console.error);

These can be configured with CLI flags:

doc2txt abc123 --tokenpath my-token.json

or passed in as an object:

doc2txt('abc123', {tokenpath: 'my-token.json'})

• credpath Location of the credentials JSON file. Defaults to process.env.HOME + '/.doc2txt-credentials.json'
• tokenpath Location of the token JSON file. Defaults to process.env.HOME + '/.doc2txt-token.json'
• startstr Text before this in the doc is removed. Defaults to ::start-str::.
• endstr Text after this in the doc is removed. Defaults to ::end-str::.
