The Google Keep API allows you to create two types of notes: a text note and a list note. This document shows how to create each type.
Create a text note
The following sample shows how to create a text note:
REST
Call notes.create with a Note resource. Place the TextContent in the Section of the note.
Java
/**

*
* @throws IOException
* @return The newly created text note.
*/
private
Note
createTextNote
(
String
title
,
String
textContent
)
throws
IOException
{
Section
noteBody
=
new
Section
().
setText
(
new
TextContent
().
setText
(
textContent
));
Note
newNote
=
new
Note
().
setTitle
(

();
}

The following sample shows how to create a list note:
REST
