Answer 1

The only API from Google which interacts with a file in your Drive is Google Drive API and sadly, there is no such thing as Docs Viewer API.

In fact, the "Docs Viewer" is merely a URL which allows you to preview a document while passing the link of a file to it.

I have taken the opportunity to report this on Google's Issue Tracker here and I suggest you star it as any updates regarding this will be posted there.
