I have been reading google developers API document and trying to setup my private hangout chat for employees. I have created project in Console, enabled hangout API, verified domain ownership used for service and all that is listed at step one and two on this page https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/getting-started.
When I go to page Run your app privatly on page https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/running#running-private I cant find way to add my app as is mentioned here, because there is no Add apps link.
Move the mouse pointer to the left edge of the Hangout to reveal the
menu, choose the three dots (...), then Add apps. The app picker
appears.
Could you please help me

Need a deep link (or shareable link) to allow my users to go directly to the Approvals App (approvals hub) - received list in the Teams App (not web).
I've searched and searched and cannot find anything. This is the closest I'm getting which gets me to a dialogue box that asks to open the approvals "hub" (app).
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/7c316234-ded0-4f95-8a83-8453d0876592?source=app-details-dialog
But, I'd like to "auto open" this and put them right on "their approvals" (received) page in the approvals app in the teams app.
Please help.
Try this deeplink: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/7c316234-ded0-4f95-8a83-8453d0876592/approvals
It's a deeplink to the tab of the Approvals app.
What I want to build:
I want to build a website where users can connect their google calendars (this will use Google Calendar API's)
and view their calendar events, as well as edit them, and create new ones.
My problem:
In order to do so, google says my app needs to be verified, which can take weeks, and I also need to set up terms of services pages, privacy policy pages
I also need to supply authorised javascript origins which MUST start with https, which of course is a problem during development, since my origin is http://localhost
I also need to set up support emails and homepage link
Question
I just want to start building my application without having to set up a whole production-ready website eco system.
Is there anyway I can use these Google Calendar APIs for editing/creating calendar events locally, without having to set up everything mentioned above first?
Unverified apps can still be used by the developer who created the project on google developer console.
Unverified app screen
The app or script might display an "unverified app" screen before it displays the consent screen. This is based on the specific scopes that your app includes in the request.
You can still work on your app while you are going though the verification process. However that being said i would start that process asap it can take a long time to get verified.
Yes, you can. As far as I am able to tell, all the verification step does is remove the "unverified app" screen. As long as you click Advanced > Go To ... (unsafe), you should be able to create and edit calendar events for that user in your application.
In order to be able to create and edit calendar events, you need to use the most sensitive scope, which is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar. I couldn't figure out how to edit and create calendar events in my web app until I changed my scope from calendar.events to calendar.
Creating Events: https://developers.google.com/calendar/create-events
So here I am again, exploring new Google platform and hunting down information and docs.
I'm trying to build a skeleton of a flow before I write any business logic code with actual use of the APIs, and as expected from Google, this process is excruciatingly painful.
I've tried to follow this doc:
https://developers.google.com/gsuite/marketplace/listing
Packaged the zip, put the flag DOMAIN_INSTALLABLE flag as was instructed in order for the app to be installible from the marketplace. In the dashboard of PRICING & DISTRIBUTION I've selected Private and added testers to the list of testers.
Now when I click View in Chrome Web Store (seen in image) it takes me to the extensions web store, and not to the marketplace store.
How can I get to the GSuite Marketplace flow, rather than the extension flow? Do I need to alter my manifest.json in some way that is not mentioned in the docs?
Thanks
it's true that the publishing flow is too complicated now. We are working on improvements and in the future everything will be in one place.
Unfortunately G Suite Marketplace does not support trusted testers (yet), that's why it doesn't show up.
What you might be able to do, is modify the url a bit after you clicked on 'View in Chrome Web Store'.
Just remove everything after the webstore id
I use this url:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xxxxxx
xxxx should be your webstore id
You should be able to show your unlisted app in the Gsuite Marketplace, where you can initiate the install flow.
It works for me, but my test app
In the Google plus Quick Start documentation:
Google Plus Quick Start Enable Google plus API
It states that a form needs to be filled out to register the app. But I can't find anything to click on to register the app. I'm wondering if the Google Console layout has changed, and the documentation hasn't been updated? I did a search on the word, "register" but didn't find anything.
The side bar on the left that I see has a list like this:
Overview
----------
APIs and auth
Credentials
Consent Screen
Push
That's what my Google Console screen looks like. I don't see any menu item for Register App
True, that part changed a bit. What you need to do now is to go to "Credentials" and create a new Client ID there. You will then find the necessary Client ID and Client secret listed on that page.
what key (if any) do I require for simple text translation from program?
Note: I don't host any website.
Getting a Google Translate API Key
To use the Google API, you first need a Google Cloud account.
Go to https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/basic/setup-basic
Click Set up a project.
Name the new project in the Enable Cloud Translation API screen. Use this dialog to name your project
They may ask you to create or connect to an existing billing account. Google gives you a $300 credit to use the Cloud Translation API over a year to try it out.
Create a new service account.
This screen will pop up with your new project name and the associated service account. Click Download Private Key. This API key (written in JSON) connects your site to the Google Cloud. To enable API, download the private key.
Upload the Google Translate API key to your site. Check with your hosting company where on your system to place this key.
When you’ve placed the Google API key on your site, tell your system where to find it. Set an environment variable. Again, check with your hosting company if you don’t know how to open a terminal.
API keys are the same for all GCP APIs. Instructions here: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys
Activate the Google Translate API
Before you can use a Google API in your project, you have to activate it. Go to the side menu and select the APIs & Services option:
Now you will see a screen with statistics about the APIs that you have activated. If you created the project from scratch by following the steps above, you won’t have any data yet, as you can see:
Click on the upper button Enable APIs and services to continue with the activation process of the API. This takes us to a search box where we have to look for the API we’re interested in. In this case, we want to use the Google Translate API. Type translate in the search box and click on the result Cloud Translate API:
This brings us to a screen with the description of the Cloud Translation API. Click on the Enable button to activate the API in our project:
We already have the Google Cloud Translation API activated. We’re almost there…
Create a new API Key for Google Translate
After activating the API, let’s see how to generate a new Key API to be able to use this service. We have to go to the side menu again and select the Credentials option:
On this screen we see a button with a drop-down and the text Create credentials. Don’t click on the button! Instead, open the drop-down by clicking on the arrow to the right of the button and select the API Key option.
This creates the new Key API. You can copy it if you want, although you can access it later:
Google Cloud provides us with a new Key API to use Google Translate with our third-party applications.
How to Restrict Our API Key to Protect and Limit Its Use
To control the cost of Google Cloud by using the Google Cloud Translation API (or Google Translate, which is the same), we can do two things: restrict where you can use the API Key that we just created or limit the allowed quota to use the service itself.
In the screenshot above, if you click on the Restrict Key button you will go to the API Key restriction screen that follows:
There you can select to restrict the API Key by HTTP referrers, which means that you can only make calls to the Google Cloud Translate API using the API Key from certain domain names.
You must add the valid domain names in the text box that appears when selecting the HTTP referrers option. Sample domain name https://google.com/*.
On the other hand, go to the menu API’s & Services → Dashboard → Cloud Translation API → Quotas and there you will find a box called Characters. There you can modify the quota limits of the Google Cloud Translation API and reduce them, if necessary.
The price for Google Cloud Translation API at the time of writing this post is 20 USD per million translated characters, so make your numbers.
And that’s all! You already have your API Key ready to be used with the application you want. The process is a bit cumbersome at first, but following the steps you’ll get the API Key without problems.
An API key is required to use the Google Translate API and you can get yours from the Google APIs Console.
