Oh cool. I've done a lot of similar projects in recent years with Apps Script [1]. With a script that's tied to a document (or even a standalone script that references Docs by ID), you can design your own API of sorts. Take in HTTP GET and PUT [2], run commands with DocumentApp [3], etc.
The upside to a system like that is, the authorization flow is abstracted completely out and handled by Google. You just pick from a dropdown as far as who you want to have access to the Web App URL, and you don't have to deal at all with setting up an OAuth flow.
