Google Drive OAuth Playground: Realtime Get API - Invalid Value Error

Question

I trying to use the Google OAuth 2.0 playground to query for realtime updates on a Google Docs File ID. For every request using either the get or update Realtime api calls I receive an error and have tried sending in numerous file ids. Do you have any advice as to how to use this API?

Below is the URL I am sending along with the error returned:

https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/1IT1qIuM6QsqV7D--69uv0sn4OSQ24UQKos3x0P3BQjc/realtime

Error Returned:

    ]
  }
}

Thanks, Michael

You need to provide your API key at the end. You can see what the requests should look like in the API explorer.

Note however that realtime documents are scoped to a particular app, so anything you've created in your app won't show up in the API explorer. You can update and the get it from that using the explorer app though.
