To create a new form and add items, you must first call forms.create to create an empty form with a title and (optional) document title, and then call forms.update to add the items.get— Get a form.setPublishSettings— Updates the publish settings of a form. Legacy forms aren't supported because they don't have thepublish_settingsfield.responses— Operations on the 'responses' resourcewatches— Operations on the 'watches' resource
