The Google API for docs is giving me HTTP 400 error.
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://docs.googleapis.com/v1/documents/1Z2rAi7CJINAwxzizOsIw0_UB1iguHaduIDBV5cOZ4iQ:batchUpdate?alt=json returned "Invalid requests[0].insertText: The insertion index must be inside the bounds of an existing paragraph. You can still create new paragraphs by inserting newlines.">
I have searched all over the place to find it. it is to insert in a blank document. it says to add a new paragraph but I don't know how to.
title = 'My Document'
text1 = "hi this is the first one"
text2 = "hi this is the first one"
text3 = "hi this is the first one"
body = {
'title': title
}
requests = [
{
'insertText': {
'location': {
'index': 0,
},
'text': text1
}
}
]
doc = service.documents().create(body=body).execute()
print('Created document with title: {0}'.format(
doc.get('title')))
docid = doc.get('documentId')
print(docid)
result = service.documents().batchUpdate(documentId=docid, body={'requests': requests}).execute()
the compelte error message is this:

In your request you should specify the location index as 1, since Google API is indexed from 1
requests = [
{
'insertText': {
'location': {
'index': 1,
},
'text': text1
}
}
