Google Meet APIConnect Google Meet without building on its API
Google Meet has a REST API. Self-serve for any developer through a Google Cloud project. If you're reading the docs because you need Google Meet to talk to the rest of your stack, Caddi does that without you writing or maintaining integration code: you show it the job once, and it runs it across Google Meet and your other tools.

What the Google Meet API gives you
- Type
- REST (JSON)
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 (Google Workspace API auth)
- Who can get access
- Self-serve for any developer through a Google Cloud project.
- What it covers
- Meeting spaces, conference records, participants and sessions, plus artifacts (recordings, transcripts, smart notes).
- Limits
- 6,000 reads/min per project (600 per user) and 1,000 writes/min per project (100 per user); spaces.create is capped at 100/min per project.
- Worth knowing
- Google says the API isn't meant for performance tracking or evaluating users, and Meet data shouldn't be collected for that.
Official docs: developers.google.com. Checked September 2026. Vendors change access terms, so confirm with Google Meet before you build.
Building on the Google Meet API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get Google Meet credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your Google Meet account once. Caddi holds the connection. |
| Writing the integration | A developer maps fields, handles pagination, retries and rate limits, and writes the sync. | You show Caddi the Google Meet task the way you'd train a new hire. It writes verified code for it. |
| Steps the API doesn't cover | Screens with no endpoint stay manual, or need a separate RPA tool. | Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session where there's no API, in the same automation. |
| The other systems in the loop | Each extra tool is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own. | One automation runs across all the tools the job touches. |
| Keeping it running | Someone owns the code when the API version, fields or your process change. | Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged. |
Building on the API is the right call when you have engineers and the integration is your product. When the goal is getting Google Meet work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.
What teams usually want the Google Meet API for
Meeting note write-back
Caddi takes the Meet transcript, writes a structured summary to the CRM, and opens the right follow-up tasks.
Prep packet generation
An hour before each Meet, Caddi assembles the prep packet from the CRM and emails it to the host.
Time entry from Meet
Caddi reads the day's Meets and drafts time entries against the right matters or projects.
Google Meet API questions
Does Google Meet have an API?
Yes. Google Meet has a REST API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (Google Workspace API auth). The official documentation is at https://developers.google.com/workspace/meet/api/guides/overview.
How do I get access to the Google Meet API?
Self-serve for any developer through a Google Cloud project.
Does the Google Meet API have rate limits?
6,000 reads/min per project (600 per user) and 1,000 writes/min per project (100 per user); spaces.create is capped at 100/min per project.
Can I connect Google Meet to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Google Meet task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Google Meet and the other tools the job touches. Where a step has no API, Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session in the same automation.
Do I need a developer to automate Google Meet with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Google Meet is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
