Quip

Verified Jul 2026

Quip, now a Salesforce product, is a collaborative-documents platform whose Automation API lets apps read and write threads, spreadsheets, and folders. It authenticates via OAuth 2.0 (individual developers can also mint a bearer Personal Access Token as a shortcut for testing against their own account), which corrects the stored auth from API Key to OAuth. A live GET against the real gateway, platform.quip.com/1/users/current, returned a 401 with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, and a follow-up OPTIONS preflight returned a 405 (Allow: GET) with no CORS headers at all, correcting cors from the previously stored yes to no. HTTPS was reconfirmed. Quip has no meaningful free tier left; its Starter/Plus/Advanced plans are priced per user per month starting around $10.
