https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/1d1aigPyLvobDPrOQqiSANN4Yi_PoygYGbJufYLRG4OY/export?mimeType=application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text

I am getting Response in the below format:

rp¡DM^Wá*e#À    ¸»ö¤[E5s"Ì=-h«Ë?P¹¿»"

Try using different mimeTypes

See the list of the ones available here:

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/ref-export-formats

I suspect you are trying to view a binary file (vnd.oasis.opendocument.text) as plain text, so maybe change your request to:

https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/1d1aigPyLvobDPrOQqiSANN4Yi_PoygYGbJufYLRG4OY/export?mimeType=text/plain
