Load gltf model from contents, not URL - vue.js

Question

I am currently downloading a gltf from Google drive using the Google Drive API. I can print in the console the gltf file as text but I can't seem to be able to parse it and actually visualize it in three.js. I have used GLTFLoader.parse and GLTFLoader.load but both give errors about the json. Is there a workflow for reading files from their content without loading them from a URL?
the response I am getting back from google-drive looks like that:

Is there a workflow for reading files from their content without loading them from a URL?
Yes. The idea is to directly call the parse() method with the respective content. The three.js editor is using this approach during file import. The normal approach for this is:
const loader = new GLTFLoader();
loader.parse( contents, '', ( gltf ) => {
const model = gltf.scene;
scene.add( model );
} );
contents can be of type string or ArrayBuffer.
