Class ContentService

ContentService

Service for returning text content from a script.

You can serve up text in various forms. For example, publish this script as a web app.

function doGet() {
  return ContentService.createTextOutput('Hello World');
}

When visiting the web app URL you will see "Hello World" in the browser. Due to security considerations, scripts cannot directly return content to a browser. Instead, they must serve the content from a different URL. This is why the URL in the browser for output created via this web app will be different than the original script URL.

function doGet() {
  const output = ContentService.createTextOutput();
  output.append('Hello world!');
  return output;
}

function doGet() {
  const output = ContentService.createTextOutput('Hello world!');
  return output;
}
