I need to automate some flow on google workspace, now I'm stuck at Activating Gmail via API, I couldn't find any resource or example anywhere.
Appreciate for any help pointing out the reference or answer.
Update:
So I have google workspace and I am working on automate user and their gmail account. From the screenshot I can simply click on "Activate Gmail" and it will check against my MX records and have it activated, but I'm looking for a solution where I can do it from google API using Ruby.
For this one, you will most likely make use of Directory API's users.update instead of Gmail API. Gmail API only enables you to access gmail settings and the emails, not the user settings.
Sadly, I haven't found any fields dedicated for activating/enabling Gmail. The closest thing I found was isMailboxSetup, but it only identifies if the user have its Gmail activated.
Indicates if the user's Google mailbox is created. This property is only applicable if the user has been assigned a Gmail license.
Given the circumstances above, you might need to do it manually. For more info regarding the subject, visit the reference below.
Reference:
Admin SDK: Directory API
you may help me here.
I want to write a script using Ruby, which sends emails on behalf of a user who gives permission to send emails to his contacts using gmail restful api (link to view). So I found Gmail API Client Library for Ruby, and I am getting stuck while trying to use it.
Now my question is which would is the best way to make a script using the gmail API, which will ask the user permission to send email on his behalf and save the access token, then fetch all his contact email addresses and any other permitted info in json preferably and finally setup the system to save a given email content file on his behalf to a selected friend/friends.How will I authenticate the users accounts from the terminal? will it be Simple API access (API keys) or Authorized API access (OAuth 2.0)?? whats the difference by the way?
Please advise the best tools, and other resources.
Use Oauth2 as it says in the API docs:
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/about-auth
If you have more specific questions, please write them. As it is now your question seems a bit general.
See: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#installed for examples on how to do Oauth2 authentication from different environments.
I'm building mobile applications using .NET. What I'm looking for is a way to manage user sessions and info using Azure Mobile Services. I've read a lot about the authentication in Azure Mobile Services, but this only authenticates a user via Facebook, Twitter, etc ... to access azure services.
I'm looking for user session management, i.e. register, login, logout. Be able to save and retrieve user info, i.e., save certain info against the user such as age for example. Also session management and caching, i.e. the user will remain logged on when the app is closed and re-opened. Also azure mobile services doesn't seem to provide a way to allow me to register users via email.
Basically, If anyone is familiar with Parse, I'm looking for having similar functionality in Azure. Can anyone help please ?
Thanks
Out of the box, Mobile Services provides easy authentication with social providers (Facebook, Twitter, etc) and Azure Active Directory. If you want to do registration via email, you'll have to create a custom auth system. This is going to be more complex than just flipping a switch and using Facebook auth, but totally doable and I can point you in the right direction. First, check out this post that will explain how you can create a registration / login system using custom API and the script backend. If you're using a .NET backend, you'll need to alter thing a bit (the samples are in JS) but it should be pretty easy to convert. The only piece that is really missing from that post is how to do email verification. To do this with Mobile Services, I would suggest the following.
Sign up for a SendGrid account (free in the Azure store)
From your script, after registering the user, generate a random alphanumeric string that is saved to their account / user record in the table.
Use the same string to create a URL which you can send to the user's email address (check out this tutorial for sending email via SendGrid and Mobile Services).
The link can either go to a different custom API or a web front end. When that endpoint is hit, it should update the user record to show that they have verified their email address.
I am using https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json? link with server key and user IP to find the latitude and longitude of any address, when I'm trying I find the error as
I have a server access key from google and I have put my server's IP address in the their white list.
The URL that I am trying to access via PHP CURL is:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=true&key=XXXXXXXXXXXX
The result that I am getting:
Array ([error_message] => This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. [results] => Array ( ) [status] => REQUEST_DENIED)
Is there anything that I need to configure.The geocoding API is also switched on.
I had the same issue and I found this.
On the url, it requires the server key in the end and not the api key for the app.
So Basically, you just add the server key in the end of the URL like this:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=yourlatitude,yourlongitude&radius=5000&sensor=true&key=SERVERKEY
Now, to obtain the server key, just follow these steps:
1) Go to Developer Console https://code.google.com/apis/console/
2) In the Credentials, under Public API Access, Create New key
3) Select the server key from the option.
4) Enter your IP Address on the field and if you have more ip addresses, you can just add on every single line.NOTE: Enter the IP Address only when you want to use it for your testing purpose. Else leave the IP Address section blank.
5) Once you are done, click create and your new Server Key will be generated and you can then add that server key to your URL.
Last thing is that, instead of putting the sensor=true in the middle of the URL, you can add it in the end like this:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=yourlatitude,yourlongitude&radius=5000&key=SERVERKEY&sensor=true
This will definitely solve the issue and just remember to use the server key for Places API.
EDIT
I believe the web URL has changed in the past years. You can access developers console from here now - https://console.developers.google.com/apis/dashboard
Navigate to developers console - https://console.developers.google.com/ or use the link from details to navigate directly to API dashboard.
Under developer console, find Label from the left navigation panel
Select project
Choose Credentials from the left Navigation panel
You could create credentials type from the Top nav bar as required.
Hope this answer will help you and other viewers. Good Luck .. :)

In addition to the API key that is assigned to you, Google also verifies the source of the incoming request by looking at either the REFERRER or the IP address. To run an example in curl, create a new Server Key in Google APIs console. While creating it, you must provide the IP address of the server. In this case, it will be your local IP address. Once you have created a Server Key and whitelisted your IP address, you should be able to use the new API key in curl.
My guess is you probably created your API key as a Browser Key which does not require you to whitelist your IP address, but instead uses the REFERRER HTTP header tag for validation. curl doesn't send this tag by default, so Google was failing to validate your request.
The Google Places API does not currently support Android or iOS keys generated from the Google APIs Console. Only Server and Browser keys are currently supported.
You're trying to use an API KEY which you restricted in a way that won't allow this action.
According to Google:
Note: If you need to call web, web service, and/or mobile APIs from the same (client-side) app, create and restrict multiple keys.
So the right thing to do is to create another API KEY, and choose the correct restrictions for this matter. In your case, choose "IP addresses" (under "Application restrictions"), and use "ADD AN ITEM" to add your server ip.
Notice that leaving a blank list won't work, and will result in google changing your restrictions to "None".
Also, don't forget to add the relevant APIs under "API restrictions" (in your case "Geocoding API").
One last thing - Google is blocking the use of this API until you link your app to Google Cloud Billing Account. So if you didn't do it yet, once you successfully get a response, it will say you have to do it first (it has a free starting package).
Google Place API requires the referer HTTP header to be included when making the API call.
Include HTTP header "Referer:yourdomain.com" and this should fix the response issues.
You create an key with out referer
dont enter the referer address
For the latest version of the API the exact opposite seems to be true for me.
When calling the url https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=<address>&key=<key> I was getting the following error
You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs. For additional information, please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account
Once I switched the order to https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=<key>&address=<address> it worked fine.
Note that the error message received above was the message I got when going directly to the URL in the browser. When I called the API from a software program I received an HTML response with basically the following message:
We're sorry... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
Also, the corresponding API should be enabled for the given project
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library?project=projectnamehere
For iOS or Android apps, the key needs an extra privilege granted.
Go to the Google Console -> APIs and Services -> Library. Tap the Places library for your platform and then tap Enable.
See https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started#enable-api-sdk
The reason this error is occurring because of the restrictions you have added when you create add the sha1 fingerprint on google cloud console , remove the fingerprints from android or ios then save .(the ip of that mobile phone will no longer be restricted)
Authentication, quotas, pricing, and policies

add only in AppDelegate like
GMSServices.provideAPIKey("AIzaSyATaUNPUjc5rs0lVp2Z_spnJle-AvhKLHY")
and remove the key in this url.
now url is
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=19.0176147,72.8561644&destination=28.65381,77.22897&mode=driving
Disable both direction api and geocoding api and re-enable.
it works for only 5-10 seconds and than automatically disabled itself.
it means you have only 5-10 sec to test you assignment.
My organization is in the process of switching to Google Apps for Education. I have successfully used Google Email Uploader to migrate my emails (as an admin of the domain). However, when I attempt to upload another users email, I encounter the following error:
Username or password not accepted
This domain does not allow users to access the Email Migration API.
Error 403
API Access has been enabled in the User Settings for our domain. Does this take some time to activate? Are there other steps I must take prior to migration? Thanks.
Administrators of Google Apps for Business/EDU domains always have the ability to migrate mail. However in order for users to be able to migrate mail to their own account, it must be enabled in the Control Panel. See Google's instructions for enabling user email migration.
