Hi I am currently trying to write a bash script to upload/edit/create an google sheet but am currently having issues with how I would curl the API.
I have looked into the gdrive tool however it seems google has revovoked its certificate and looking for an example of just a pure curl while using the authentication program seems un-fruitful.
I would appreciate if anyone has any resources or even just a good example of a bash script

I got the below popup when I tried to execute the google form api from google developer documentation.
I tried this same process with google docs api which work perfectly. I tried tp turn on less secure app access, but it seems google made it unavailable.
what is the other way out.
Thanks
This appears to be a bug with the try me on forms.
I have logged it on the issue form and im going to see if i can find someone at google to ping about it
Forms.get try me not working
I suspect however that this may have something to do with the app being in early access. That being said i would have expected a different error message if that was the issue.
It is most likely due to the permission for the client they are using. It is an internal error and not something you have done.
May i suggest creating your own app and testing it that way. Just remember this api is in early access so be sure that you fill out the form found on this page Google Forms API now available in open beta
Developers can apply to join our Early Adopter Program and begin developing using the Google Forms API by filling out this form.
I am a beginner trying out api for fun.
The problem is, lets say, I want to write a simple windows program with golang to let my friends read and edit one of the sheets saved on my google drive. How can I do this without having them download a credential file?
What I want it to do is simply redirect them to the Oauth Page right away, and if their email address is one recognized by the app it will grant them access to that google sheet.
What i think you need is to integrate your go app with Oauth protocol.
More specifically, with the Google provider.
This is mainly 3 steps:
add the oauth client to your application
something like this: https://github.com/golang/oauth2
See their docs on how to do it.
go to google dev documentation and see how to integrate google auth flow into the client: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
I'm not sure if google has something more specific for google drive integration and/or go-lang client in particular. Please do some searching.
make the glue code on your go app so that the user can interact with this (the login button (or command, if it is terminal based), error messages, logout, etc)
More questions will appear when you start to do this, however it is a great example to learn Oauth as well.
General guidelines:
https all the queries or oauth is basically useless
oatuh has many auth-flows and you must choose which one(s) you support. use whatever google documentation recommends for m2m scenario (machine 2 machine)
log errors so that your friends can send you a log file for you to debug issues
maybe set some feature flag so that you can simply disable this feature to run/test localhost ? maybe useful? you decide.
so I have opened a google cloud platform account and would like to programmatically download my apps reviews from Google Play Store.
On a support.google.com page it says that I could do this with gsutil.
I tried the example code:
gsutil cp -r gs://pubsite_prod_rev_0123456789/reviews/reviews_com.example.app_2014* /your/local/directory
Replacing the examples. But I cant get it to work. It says 'No URLs matched'
1) What do I do wrong?
2) I dont think this command programmatically downloads this report everyday, how would I do this?
Thanks
This command would actually work. The problem was that I did not initiate gcloud and allowed my Google account access to my local machine.
So downloading gcloud, installing it and then initiate with gcloud init will do the trick.
I've just stumbled onto Google Safe Browsing lookup API and will admit this seems to be a bit above my head, but I still would like to learn how to use it.
I've read through the get-started documentation, but I am still confused on where to actually begin.
I've created an API key to access it, which gave me a link.
I've pasted that link into Google Chrome, and it downloaded a file, which I opened in Google Chrome on my Win 7 machine.
This is where I am stuck, where is the API?
How do I actually paste URL's into the API to see if they are malicious or not?
So, if you're still wondering about this 6 months later an API is a way of interacting with a site not through your browser. You don't need to worry about it if you're using Chrome or Firefox since the browser will do it for you.
However, you know how a website for a bar will have a small google maps box with the map of the area? The application (website) sent a get request to the Google Maps API. The simplest way you do this at home is with your terminal or command line. That's where you would type in the url you're trying to check.
I read the following two pages on Google:
1) https://developers.google.com/google-apps/documents-list/#getting_a_list_of_documents_and_files
and
2) https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer
I can go as far as getting an access_token (OAuth2) to be used in a subsequent Google API call (I want to call Google Docs Listing or Google Drive).
I wanted to use curl or something similar and just form my https URL.
- As such in the 1st document states to form a URL as follows:
https: //docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full
- In the 2nd document, the example states to use something like https: //www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token=xxxxx
(adding the access token to the call)
Several questions
- Do I call googleapis.com or docs.google.com?
- can I call https: //docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full?access_token=xxxxx
just add the access token to the call?
thanks
You need some effort to approach a Google API the first time, but then it's easy and elegant:
Manual preparation (One-time action): Sign in to Google, create a project, enable the API in question, create new Cient ID.
Get OAuth code, refresh token and access token (one-time action).
Make the API call (repetitive arbitrary actions).
Here is a detailed explanation of the entire process - Steps to make a Google API call.
A practical sample based on the Google Calendar API with full demo code in a single HTML file can also be reviewed here - Easy and compact access to my Google calendars.
The fastest way to get started is probably the quickstart guide for the Google Drive API, which shows how to setup your environment and write a complete command-line app to upload a file to Drive:
https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart
Hie you can go through the Google Docs Sample Available Here
it's a command line smaple but this same thing you can implement in android. it works for me. you will find "docs-cmdline-sample" in repo. that will help you.
