Did you use the search before posting? Yes, and I saw some people had issues with Googleapis before but for lambda functions but there was no clear confirmation on wether netlify lack support or if there is a special configuration required.
What about reading through our Common Issues? I did

Issue: Gatsby build fails when including googleapis (googleapis - npm) in a plugin. Why? Works on the local machine.

Nevermind. I found the solution. For others googling the same issue: dependencies in package.json in a plugin is not picked up automatically. You must also install the depencies in your gatsby site and not only in the plugin folder.
