Insert inline images

You can insert an image into a document using the InsertInlineImageRequest method. You can optionally use the objectSize field to resize the image.

Java

List<Request>requests=newArrayList<>();
requests.add(newRequest().setInsertInlineImage(newInsertInlineImageRequest()
.setUri("https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/i/productlogos/docs_2020q4/v6/web-64dp/logo_docs_2020q4_color_1x_web_64dp.png")
.setLocation(newLocation().setIndex(1).setTabId(TAB_ID))
.setObjectSize(newSize()
.setHeight(newDimension()
.setMagnitude(50.0)
.setUnit("PT"))
.setWidth(newDimension()
.setMagnitude(50.0)
.setUnit("PT")))));
BatchUpdateDocumentRequestbody=newBatchUpdateDocumentRequest().setRequests(requests);
BatchUpdateDocumentResponseresponse=docsService.documents()
.batchUpdate(DOCUMENT_ID,body).execute();

PHP

$requests = array();
$requests[] = new Google_Service_Docs_Request(array(
 'insertInlineImage' => array(
 'uri' => 'https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/i/productlogos/docs_2020q4/v6/web-64dp/logo_docs_2020q4_color_1x_web_64dp.png',
 'location' => array(
 'index' => 1,
 'tabId' => TAB_ID,
 ),
 'objectSize' => array(
 'height' => array(
 'magnitude' => 50,
 'unit' => 'PT',
 ),
 'width' => array(
 'magnitude' => 50,
 'unit' => 'PT',
 ),
 )
 )
));
// Execute the requests.
$batchUpdateRequest = new Google_Service_Docs_BatchUpdateDocumentRequest(array(
 'requests' => $requests
));
$response =
 $docsService->documents->batchUpdate(DOCUMENT_ID, $batchUpdateRequest);

Python

requests = [{
 'insertInlineImage': {
 'location': {
 'index': 1,
 'tabId': TAB_ID
 },
 'uri':
 'https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/i/productlogos/docs_2020q4/v6/web-64dp/logo_docs_2020q4_color_1x_web_64dp.png',
 'objectSize': {
 'height': {
 'magnitude': 50,
 'unit': 'PT'
 },
 'width': {
 'magnitude': 50,
 'unit': 'PT'
 }
 }
 }
}]
# Execute the request.
body = {'requests': requests}
response = service.documents().batchUpdate(
 documentId=document_id, body=body).execute()
insert_inline_image_response = response.get('replies')[0].get(
 'insertInlineImage')
print('Inserted image with object ID: {0}'.format(
 insert_inline_image_response.get('objectId')))

The method inserts the image as a new ParagraphElement with an InlineObjectElement of length 1, where the startIndex is the request's location.
