# Google Picker token

`POST https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/meetings/google/token`

A short-lived Google access token (scope drive.file) and the Picker's keys, so the browser can open the Google Picker on your own Drive. Markdrop can then read only the Docs you pick. 428 `reconnect_required` when Google Docs isn't connected.

- **Authentication:** API token required: `Authorization: Bearer mdk_…`.
- **Rate limit:** 30 per minute per IP address.
- **Guide:** [Meetings](https://docs.markdrop.in/workspaces/meetings)

## Responses

- `200`: OK.
- `401`: No token, or the token is revoked or mistyped.
- `429`: Too many requests from your IP address. Wait the seconds in `Retry-After`.
