Is there a API for Google Keep? I want to make a windows 8 app for Google Keep, so that it synchronizes with your phone.

I looked into the Drive SDK because Google Keep is a extension of Google Drive, but I couldn't find it.

Keep is NOT an extension of Drive. Where does it say so? – Masera 5/10, 2013 at 14:19

The url from Google Keep; drive.google.com/keep. Otherwise the service would have got another subdomain or something – Haulage 1/11, 2013 at 7:34

How about keep.google.com ? – Broiler 19/3, 2014 at 20:54

FYI, I think google is currently developing an API. The web interface uses https://clients6.google.com/notes/v1/ to receive and update notes. – Deduct 21/4, 2014 at 14:11

Sorry but how is this question "off-topic" exactly? – Singhal 5/8, 2014 at 19:46

@still_learning - clients6.google.com/notes/v1 is broken – Glanti 26/2, 2015 at 11:16

any news on the subject ? – Chongchoo 1/4, 2015 at 19:31

this topic especially actual after last android app update. now i want to develop my own app with "quick note" feature and more handy labels management – Coorg 3/4, 2015 at 13:24

check this out github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi. Its unofficial API client. handle with care – Valorievalorization 11/8, 2018 at 18:42

update 09/2018, i guess since you have the icon of Keep in Gmail, that means there should be an api for that, just not released for the public – Lydie 13/9, 2018 at 11:20

There's an API now: developers.google.com/keep/api – Pelaga 25/6, 2021 at 8:1

@FlorianBachmann would you mind adding that as an answer? I'll tag that as the accepted answer then. – Haulage 26/6, 2021 at 18:54

I'd love to, but I can't, because the question is "Closed. This question does not meet Stack Overflow guidelines. It is not currently accepting answers." – Pelaga 28/6, 2021 at 5:30

UPDATE: yes, Google released a public REST API for Keep. Here's the public documentation.

any updates for this? – Jeanicejeanie 16/6, 2014 at 3:35

I monitored with Charles proxy, got the URLs and so on, but the problem is that there are some tokens and IDs that you need to know how to generate it, and only Google does. – Appealing 4/8, 2014 at 1:45

Their typical MO for their APIs is to use OAuth, so I would bet that that would be the token exchanges you observed... – Elite 19/3, 2015 at 9:21

@JeremyFelix yes, but you must write the "permissions" you want the user to accept, and we can't solicitate the Keep permission – Appealing 29/3, 2015 at 19:3

Google keep is a great idea but lack the option of integrating it to custom tools (emacs/browser extensions/raspberry pi applications/etc) makes it's usefulness limited for power users. – Coaly 9/7, 2015 at 12:50

I've just created a petition! @Mccormac Please support it adding the link to the accepted answer: bit.ly/keep-api-petition – Appealing 19/10, 2015 at 18:29

Someone has made an unofficial API: github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi – Geostrophic 10/4, 2018 at 13:0

Would be nice if the API would allow tracking tags, for example "todo" – Virginavirginal 7/8, 2021 at 12:40

As "official" as this is - keep in mind that this is only for enterprise accounts (not the general public). See issuetracker.google.com/issues/209652471 – Whitehouse 30/8, 2022 at 23:55

No there's not and developers still don't know why google doesn't pay attention to this request!

As you can see in this link it's one of the most popular issues with many stars in google code but still no response from google! You can also add stars to this issue, maybe google hears that!

How can we contact Google so that they can given an answer? – Appealing 1/8, 2015 at 7:34

@BrunoLemos : I am 99% sure it's seen by now ! because it's in top10 issues right now and Google always pays attention to issues.but i don't know how to contact directly and what's their answer :( – Mixon 1/8, 2015 at 11:29

It may have been seen, but not by the correct people... this suggestion is not a "google app script issue", also google code will be disabled this month. – Appealing 2/8, 2015 at 12:56

They're just waiting when IT-community reverse-engineered Google Keep API and write python library by itself so they wont pay for this one cent. – Ratty 29/8, 2016 at 8:14

This and Google Voice they are just ignoring... maybe it is time to move on to Zoho or some other system... – Ogata 9/1, 2019 at 22:43

I have been waiting to see if Google would open a Keep API. When I discovered Google Tasks, and saw that it had an Android app, web app, and API, I converted over to Tasks. This may not directly answer your question, but it is my solution to the Keep API problem.

Tasks doesn't have a reminder alarm exactly like Keep. I can live without that if I also connect with the Calendar API.

Which app do you have in mind? I looked in Google Play and did not find any from Google. – Shellieshellproof 26/3, 2016 at 14:50

The Android app I am using is Tasks from Team Tasks. There is also a free version called "Tasks Free". – Monied 27/3, 2016 at 15:24

Just wanted to mention that unlike Google Keep, Google Tasks don't allow image attachments, which is why I'm still hoping (against hope) for a Google Keep API. – Gerfalcon 24/1, 2018 at 12:38

There is now an official Google Tasks app for Android - play.google.com/store/apps/… – Overthrow 15/11, 2018 at 19:47

Task doesn't even have a widget. It can't really replace Keep - for me, at least. It depends on what you're trying to achieve, I guess. – Lisa 10/12, 2018 at 13:16
