Description

Hello everyone

I apologize in advance for the amount of "Apps Scripts" (AS for short). Keep in mind the difference between Apps Script projects (code.gs) and the Apps Script API.

The general idea is to be able to create AS projects, write functions inside and execute them, all from a 'parent' AS project.

After confirming that there was no AS-specific method for creating new AS projects (other than by hand), I recently managed to get the AS API working from within an AS project.

The projects.create method works great for creating new projects.

The projects.updateContent method works great for writing code inside newly created projects.

However, I'm having trouble using the script.run method to try and execute functions contained in new projects from the API

Here is how I tried to get it working:

function runScript() {

    var scriptId = 'target_script_id'
    var functionName = 'target_function_name';

    var accessToken = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();

    var url = 'https://script.googleapis.com/v1/scripts/' + scriptId + ':run';

    var payload = {
        'function': functionName,
        'devMode': false
    };

    var options = {
        'method': 'post',
        'contentType': 'application/json',
        'payload': JSON.stringify(payload),
        'muteHttpExceptions': true,
        'headers': {
            'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
         }
    };

    var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
    var responseData = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
    Logger.log (responseData);
    return responseData; 
}

What I did

I made sure that every authorization is allowed in the scopes, the AS API is activated in the whole Google Cloud Project, all the AS Projects are part of the same GCP. The actual target function works fine by itself, it is a very simple test function.
