Class ContentService

    • ContentService allows you to serve text content from a script, for example, by publishing the script as a web app.

    • When serving content through a web app, the browser URL will differ from the original script URL for security reasons.

    • The createTextOutput() method is used to create a TextOutput object which can serve text content.

    • The createTextOutput(content) method allows you to create a TextOutput object with initial content.
    Content Service

    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.
