I believe your goal is as follows.
- You want to put the texts with the paragraph style and the text style.
- You want to achieve this using Google Docs API.
In this case, how about the following sample request body?
Flow:
In order to achieve your goal, when the batchUpdate method is used, as a sample flow, the following flow is used.
- Insert Texts.
- In this sample, the texts of
Sample1\n and Sample2\n are inserted.
- Set paragraph style.
- In this case, "HEADING_1" and "NORMAL_TEXT" are reflected in the text of
Sample1\n and Sample2\n, respectively.
- Set text style.
- In this case, a hyperlink of
https://www.google.com is set to the text of Sample2\n.
When this flow is reflected in a request body, it becomes as follows. Of course, for example, you can change this flow like "1. Insert Sample1\n. 2. Set paragraph style. 3. Insert Sample2\n. 4. Set paragraph style. 5. Set text style.".
Sample request body:
{
"requests": [
{
"insertText": {
"text": "Sample1\n",
"location": {
"index": 1
}
}
},
{
"insertText": {
"text": "sample2\n",
"location": {
"index": 9
}
}
},
{
"updateParagraphStyle": {
"range": {
"startIndex": 1,
"endIndex": 8
},
"paragraphStyle": {
"namedStyleType": "HEADING_1"
},
"fields": "namedStyleType"
}
},
{
"updateParagraphStyle": {
"range": {
"startIndex": 9,
"endIndex": 17
},
"paragraphStyle": {
"namedStyleType": "NORMAL_TEXT"
},
"fields": "namedStyleType"
}
},
{
"updateTextStyle": {
"range": {
"startIndex": 9,
"endIndex": 16
},
"textStyle": {
"link": {
"url": "https://www.google.com"
}
},
"fields": "link"
}
}
]
}
