 * I want to integrate Google Drive API with my site, and the Google documentation
   here is very poor considering PHP language, and it didn’t mention at all integrating
   it with WordPress, the feature I’m trying to achieve is getting a Google Drive
   folder ID by providing it’s path and my account credentials/id and I believe 
   integrating the drive API would be of so much help in that case, here’s a shortcode
   example of what I’m trying to reach
    `[gdrive path="/path/to/my/folder"]` and
   it simply outputs my google drive folder ID

 * Hi there,
 * To achieve this, I’d first recommend turning your project into a plugin to avoid
   potentially modifying WordPress Core files. Once it’s thought of as a plugin,
   then you can begin adding your necessary files with respect to the WordPress 
   Plugin Handbook. You’ll want to have your vendor directory to hold the Google
   API client along with your other Composer files.
 * To achieve the shortcode result, you’ll want to refer to the shortcode documentation
   [here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API).
 * Regards,
    Tyler
