Please I want to create Event in Google Calendar API but the documentation official is BAD I cant use it .. And someone here who can help me please!! Sorry with my english but I speak spanish!
I agree...
This helps a bit: Google Calendar Events
Depending on the process you are using, there are few examples for using asp.net and the service account option. I successfully created events via service account with granting domain-wide access. With this you just need to create an app, then service account for the app and follow the domain wide delegation steps on the google documentation pages. This option is great if you have an app that needs to create events without having to authenticate the user.
For working code and more info you can see what I used at-
Google API Calender v3 Event Insert via Service Account using Asp.Net MVC
What is "bad" about the documentation? (Don't just complain; provide actionable feedback.) In the v3 docs, check out the reference section on creating events. There is even sample code in Java, Python, PHP, and Ruby to help get you started just below the reference. In addition, below the sample code is the APIs Explorer where you can issue requests with appropriate payload to the API and see the HTTP response to ensure you're calling the API correctly and receiving the data you requested. If there's any additional way for us to improve the docs, please let us know!
UPDATE (Sep 2015): I created a blogpost and video that walks through some pseudocode (well, it's Python) for creating events. There are examples in most other languages too.

I have an API that a user can query for data after that user authenticates against an OAuth2 provider that I maintain (i.e. not Google). Is it possible to expose data through this API to Google's Data Studio using a Community Connector? If yes, is it possible to use the setup outlined here https://github.com/gsuitedevs/apps-script-oauth2#setup against a non-Google OAuth2 provider? Thank you for your help!
I have not found any requisite to expose data through an API. So I expect that it is possible, but take into account the specific configuration requested when implementing it.
The setup outlined there is not official so you will need to test it unless someone has done it already or has enough time for it. The post is really detailed and has work behind, so I would give it a chance!
I'm trying to build a site that updates users' Google Talk statuses from Google App Engine using the built in XMPP Python API (or a third-party one, if one works better than another). I've been looking around for some examples or docs explaining how I would go about doing this, but nothing I find seems to offer a fully functional solution.
App Engine's XMPP Python developer docs suggest that updating a status can be done through the send_presence() method (see here):
xmpp.send_presence(to_jid, status="My app's status")
But, how would this be authenticated? Wouldn't I have to send the users password with the request? (Ideally, I'd like to do so using OAuth as suggested here.) Am I misunderstanding something?
Please excuse me if I'm missing something obvious, here. I'm pretty new to both Google App Engine and XMPP. Unlike a lot of examples I've found online, I don't want to create a chat "robot"; I merely want to change an existing user's Google Talk status. Thanks in advance for any pointers!
You can't change someone else' status using the XMPP API.
You can use the XMPP API to represent yourself, or your users (see the description of XMPP addresses in the GAE XMPP API docs).
You cannot send messages or update the status of a gmail user.
so my idea is pretty simple. But I don't know where to start.
develop a simple RESTful API on my app engine server using the simple webapp framework.
there will be two kinds of clients:
1. Normal pc users access the facebook application, and this will directly place API calls to my app engine server.
( Please note, that the facebook application itself is hosted on the same app engine server)
Iphone users access my app engine server by going though Facebook connect. The user is then free to make the API calls.
So how i checked the App3 Project at http://code.google.com/p/app3/, then didn't really have authentication in place.
Any suggestions/ideas?
I have a rough idea of how the flow works
Assumption: I have the datastore all set up with user data.
For normal PC users accessing my FB app:
--> authenticate in FB ->I save their userid + facebook_session_key in with gmemsess -> I use both data to authenticate with the user data in my datastore --> that user is now free to CRUD on my server.
For iphone users, it's the same flow. But with Facebook Connect.
the CRUD should look something like:
if the user wants to check his/her stats, the API call would be something like:
/rest/getstats
Is anyone actually doing something like that? I'd appreciate everyone's insights.
A simple, hassle free solution would be awesome!
Well, this might not be exactly what you've been looking for, but here's my try:
To do simple REST on app engine, you can try Jim Fulton's excellent library, bobo (here's a link to the REST section of the documentation). Bobo is a well-tested, simple package that contains only one fily, bobo.py, so it perfectly fits a minimalistic application's need. You can simply put it on top of webapp.
Note that the decorators shown in the documentation need to be converted to python2.5-style to work, so
#bobo.resource('/rest/getstats', 'GET')
def get_stats(self, request):
"Get user's stats"
would become
def get_stats(self, request):
"Get user's stats"
get_stats = bobo.resource('/rest/getstats', 'GET')(get_stats)
and such. This should be an easy approach to REST.
As for the authentication, you could pipe repoze.who into the WSGI pipeline. There are a some very simple repoze.who plugins for the facebook API out there in the wild (unfortunately none of them on pypi), I wrote a very simple one myself for a simple Facebook application a while ago. You can check it out here, along with a brief wiki and some dependency graphs that might help keep your app lightweight and memory-efficient. (Note on the dependency graphs there: some of the Zope libraries has been simplified since then; for Facebook authentication to work, you only need zope.interface.)
Maybe I didn't really give you anything specific (or useful), but these are just a few links you can take a look at, they might come in handy.
How do I setup Account Registration, Login, etc in Grails when developing for the Google App Engine? Normally I would use the Acegi plugin but I've read that it doesn't work with Google App Engine.
For reference, I'm using the Grails app-engine and gorm-jpa plugins.
Google App Engine allows you to manage users through their Google Accounts Java API. The page provides example codes which you can easily implement with Groovy.
Hope it helps.
You should take a look at this patch: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILSPLUGINS-1233. I haven't used it yet but might be what you are after.
In my opinion, it is essential to create custom authentication instead of using Google Account API to create any viable application run on GAE.
So, I created my own solution to tackle this problem which you may interested to have a look at URL:
http://grailsfuse.vobject.com/
(You will hit http 500 error for first request, please wait for 30 seconds and refresh)
The missing part is the self-registration page and remember me feature. Please contact us (hyperlink located below the page of URL above) if you are still interested.
Wish to heard from you soon!
I'm trying to get some stats on how many of the visitors to our website have Silverlight enabled browsers.
We currently use Google Analytics for the rest of our stats so ideally we'd like to just add 'Silverlight enabled' tracking in with the rest of our Google Analytics stats. But if it has to get written out to a DB etc then so be it.
Nikhil has some javascript to Silverlight tracking to Google Analytics. I have tried this code but Google Analytics doesn't pick it up.
Does anyone have any other ideas/techniques?
In case you missed it, there's a link to a more detailed article as well in the comments: http://blogs.msdn.com/jeffwilcox/archive/2007/10/01/using-google-analytics-with-rich-managed-web-applications-in-silverlight.aspx
Edit: As David pointed out, this article covers the reverse scenario more (how to write your silverlight app so that it plays well with Analytics).
I think you answered it yourself. The page you are linking to does just that: detect which version of Silverlight the user has (not if s/he installs it). From the page:
After a little poking around, I found that Google Analytics has support for reporting a user-defined field.
...
Basically this detects the presence of Silverlight, and if its available, it records the version as the value of the user-defined field. Now your analytics reports will have one of three values: "(not set)", "Silverlight/1.0" or "Silverlight/2.0".
#Vaibhav
The Using Google Analytics with rich (managed) web applications in Silverlight article is very interesing but is more focused on how to get your Silverlight app to send messages to Google Analytics.
#Cd-MaN
Yeah, I thought that too but I have tried running my page with Nikhil's javascript and Google Analytics didn't pick it up. But I could have screwed something up somewhere.
I'm just interested to know if anyone else has managed to do this (track Silverlight-ness) successfully.
I've written a lightweight Silverlight library that helps make it easy to integrate Google Analytics in your silverlight app. You can grab download the code or binaries here.
I think the code posted on Nikhil's blog is out of date if you are using ga.js and not urchin.js.
The use of the global function __utmSetVar() is replaced by the tracker method _setCustomVar()
