As explained in their documentation, it is not possible to customize the response of Zapier webhooks.
I want something like Pipedream's HTTP API trigger, it exposes a custom API. You can hit and retrieve the data from the workflow and can return a custom response as per your needs.
Is there any way I can do the same with Zapier?
This is not possible with Zapier at this time.
We are trying to call one of Google's APIs and analyze the data and then display it for the user on our site. We realize we can make calls to the API through our server using php or python, but because of Google's limit, we are looking for an option that will have the API call come from the user, instead of our server. Is there a way for a web app to distribute the requests amongst the users instead of make all the calls from our server?
Thank you very much as this has been a tricky one to Google.
I highly doubt that this is possible. The API request is per API key and you can't provide every user with their own API key.
If the scenario you are trying to achieve requests possibly the same data for multiple users. I highly suggest you save/cache the API request. This will minimize the times your server send API request to google since you saved that request to your server. You can then set an expiration for your saved/cached API request to renew X days.
Scenario
user 1: request data for item 123 from API.
server: sends request to API server, and save
user 2: request data for item 123
server: return saved API response
I'm having trouble with the google plus API.
Trying to use the user search API, all it returns is a selflink and structure data.
What am I doing wrong?
And how can I use this API by only sending a HTTP request?
In google cloud I have a service account with big query access.
I would like to use API Key within bigquery api Request. Can this be done?

(Sorry, don't have enough reputation to comment) In general, you can use service account to authenticate when using BigQuery. The actual way to do this depends on the client you're using.
If I am using Google API (this one) to access a GoogleSheet document, do the calls I am making via an API have any impact on the AppsScript-specific URL Fetch Service quota mentioned here and here ?
No, I don't believe they do. 2 separate quotas.
