Google App Engine, GData & Picasa - google-app-engine

Is there more comprehensive sample of creating Google App Engine App using GData Python Library to interact with Picasa Web Album, other than google guide from GAE here: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/1.0/developers_guide_python.html

For getting started with GAE and GData, you can take a look at:
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/python/retrieving_gdata_feeds.html
You should be able to update the samples code there to use PhotosService instead of DocClient.

Google App Engine and Google Calendar API

I was wondering if I need the Google java client libraries to access my google calendars from GAE. Are they part of the Google App Engine SDK by default?
Moreover I was not able to find a good example or tutorial which shows how to create, read, update and delete Google calendar events from an Google Cloud Platform app.
Thanks a lot, if you can offer same code examples or links to appropriate and working tutorials.
You're looking for the Google Java API client:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/
This library isn't included in App Engine by default, but there are instructions on that page for how to install it. When you have it set up, here's the guide for using the calendar API:

Hope this helps!

Does Google provide support for Google APIs for vaadin if not using google app engine as a runtime..?

I am new in vaadin and developing a web project so want to know if i do't use Google App Engine as my project's run time environment so that am able to use Google all APIs such as:
*Calender API
*Contact API
*Drive API
* and also other which google provide :
Google APIs
As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with
Maven+vaadin+Runtime Environment(Jboss)+Eclipse+MySQL
Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.

Google App Engine - Google APIs Console - Google Cloud Console

I wanted to ask what the difference between Google App Engine, Google APIs Console and Google Cloud Console is?
I will deploy a Project which will fetch some Websites and provide the data to my Android Application.
What is the best to use? I do not know what is for what.
Google App Engine lets you run web applications on Google's infrastructure : https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine
Google APIs Console is Console to administrate Google API (deprecated)
Google Cloud Console is new version of Google APIs Console.
So for your Project use Google App Engine.
And for example use URL Fetch https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/
A bit of background: At one point in time, Google APIs had its own console and Google App Engine had its own console. Eventually, it was decided that we should merge these two consoles into one console. We've already turned down the APIs console, and we're working on turning down the App Engine admin console.
So to answer your question: you should use the Cloud console unless you need to use the App Engine admin console for some obscure reason.

PhoneGap Backend Database - Google App Engine DataStore

I have developed a PhoneGap application (HTML5,CSS,JS). The app needs to create product items using a form and then store that information in the gae DataStore. The app also needs to display all the products stored in DataStore.
I am new to both Web Development & Google App Engine. Can you please point me to an example (sample) code that uses PhoneGap & Google App Engine DataStore.
If using java, you can implement your backend using a REST framework like Restlet, Jersey or Cloud Endpoint
If using python, you can implement you backend using a REST framework like Flask-Restful or Cloud Endpoint.
Alternatively you can consider using something like gwt-phonegap that provide direct integration of phonegap with GWT.
You can call it from Phonegap using your preferred javascript library or XMLHttpRequest.

Amazon Product Advertising API on Google App Engine

What is the easiest way to use the Amazon Product API on the Google App Engine? How do you work around the socket limitations of Google App Engine?
Are you using the REST API ? If it's purely a REST API, you should be able to make calls using the urlfetch service.
What have you tried so far, and what errors has it given you?
Also, are you using the Java or Python version of App Engine?
I'm using this library together with Beautiful Soup on App Engine. Had no problems so far.
This basic Amazon Product API module is compatible with Google App Engine.
