I’m working on a project where I want to get sections of a Google Doc that were written by a specific user, or alternatively get sections of the doc with author data annotated somehow.

I searched through the Google APIs for docs and didn’t see anything that looked like it could obviously do this – though it looks like it would be possible to build it using the History API and a bunch of diff’ing.

Does anyone know of an existing API from Google which supports this? Or a library (Python, ideally) that would make this easier?
