I hope it will work fine...
Yes, there's a Ruby client library provided by Google which allows you consume their Google+ API
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/ruby/apis/plus/v1
UPDATE
The URL above points to Ruby client library. The API you're looking for is moments.insert
https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/moments/insert
There is an official Google API Client gem. However the Google+ API does not allow standard automated posting to a profile. The recommended approach to share posts is the share button or the interactive share API.
The automated posting that Google+ does support are:
App activities/moments are a way to make actions within your app visible to other users of your app. They do not appear in the Google+ posts stream.
Domains API can be used with Google Apps accounts to create posts that are limited to users within the company.
Pages API can be used to post to a page (not a profile) but is limited to approved partners.

I have added a non-renewable subscription for one of my projects. We also started implementing the Google play developer API to get the subscription latest status from the Play Store. For that we have done the below steps as per this blog:
Linked the developer account to a new Google Cloud Project.
Enabled the Google Play Developer API for the Google Cloud Project.
Created a service account and created a key for the service account.
I have below clarifications related to this implementation:
I tried to Grant Access for the following permissions: But the corresponding checkmark is not clickable.
View financial data, orders, and cancellation survey responses
Manage orders and subscriptions
The 3rd step as per the blog is to Authorize an API key, but I didn't get a clear idea of that.
We are going to implement this API on the back end side as a corn job, do we need to generate a JWT token for accessing this API? Is this possible to call without a Token? I found 2 types of implementations from this blog, which one is easy and secure?
"Your application can complete these tasks either by using the Google APIs client library for your language or by directly interacting with the OAuth 2.0 system using HTTP."
From where we get the get API path and other details. I found a similar get API from AppStore like this. Is the play store providing a similar kind of get API?
We need the latest purchase status API and for that what parameters do we need to pass?
My web app have recently been approved to use the Google My Business API, when I login to my Google Cloud Library for the related project to enable the API, I could't find the the Google My Business API.
Can anyone tells how to resolve this issue ?
Thanks.
In the list of project APIs, it is shown as "Google My Business API".

Have you tried with your corporate email account?
Faced a similar problem when I tried to enable Business Messages API. Then I realized
google business won't allow generic email addresses for the allow list and we have to share individual corporate accounts for APIs access and developer console access.
I am trying without success to "Add Google Sign-In to Your Web App" and then use Node.js with Google Sheets API V4 to be able allow my app to use the sheets api on behalf of the user (with scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets).
I'm really confused on how to achieve this. Reading through most of the documentation from OAuth2 doesn't clarify me best practices to achieve this with the Google Sign-In button.
Furthermore, I haven't found any documentation/guides related to this. I was hoping someone can guide me towards the right direction.
P.S: I managed to use the sheets api by following the Node.js quickstart for Sheets API, which allows me to achieve authorization through console, however I believe using the Sign-In button might simplify the process while making a nicer UX.
Thanks!
Google Sign-In is like what it says, for signing-in. However, it's not enough to authorize you to use Sheets API methods because if you read the Authorize Requests docs, it clearly states that you need to use OAuth2 plus there are scopes to consider (read-only, read/write, etc).
You are correct to follow the guidelines where you used OAuth2.0. Just create your own custom button. Grab a Google button image in the web and use that.
I am trying to create a location-based services Android application. I had successfully getting the user reviews from Google Places API by following the guidance from this link.
https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details
I also found many posts regarding how to get user reviews from Google Places. But Now I want to create a function which user can insert reviews from my application. Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks.
No. There is no API for writing review. Also the Google+ mobile URL doesn't have the write review option from last year. Its a bug , but Google is not fixing this.
There is only one way to write review is through desktop URL. I have a similar location base app in play store where I have done some workaround to show desktop site to write review.
I am looking for a step by step guide to implement Google OpenID+OAuth in our Webapplication running on Heroku for getting calendar/contacts data. I have looked at many documents and Q&A about this but still can't make things work and was wondering if anyone here knew of a place which describes the plugins, gems needed and a step by step guide. The reason for using the hybrid is that we need a permanent token from Google that we can track for users across multiple sessions.
Truly appreciate any help.
Best,

You cannot use Google's OpenID to access other service. So you will need to ask user to provide username/password when you want to access calendar (make sure it's SSL-ed!).
So for calendar you can use: GCal4Ruby.
But in general you can access user data using official Google GData gem.
