this is a great step in making the APIs more acceptable as enterprise software alternatives. I am especially waiting for the Google Analytics API to have services accounts! sincereley,
+1 it should be MUCH easier to do something simple like pull the top 10 most visited pages on a site as JSON for display on the site. It's a very common feature, and appears to not be something possible using the GA API.
Hi, thanks for this! I'm trying to create an fully automated job to access information from the Google Affiliate Network API daily or so. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but am I able to use this Service Account approach do handle auth, then turn around somehow to do an "events GET" from the GAN apis? I see the sample is accessing "Tasks", which isn't among the list you have above, so I'm hoping I can do this.
Great news, but it seems like the Google App Engine approach does not work with hosted accounts. It requires you to add the "Service Account Name" as an email address to your API console project, but if your API console is for a hosted account it does not allow external addresses.
Can i use google services auth to authorize connections and get latitude data? I really need to use latitude data on my website but with a "service account" so users don't need to accept nothing and they can't view data directly on the website. Any help?
Actually the working examples in the PHP Library are not working.
To be precise: in the PHP Library there are 2 examples, the serviceAccount.php looks very nice BUT there are not the requested classes in the Library to download (!!!) you have to download the latest svn and even then it does not work either (for oauth 2.0 it's working though...).
In my experience, EVERY TIME I try to run a PHP Google example or a PHP Google Library it does not work, I always need to look at the code, cut, paste and after long hours finally have something working... OR I switch to a similar service elsewhere (thank you Amazon...)
Hi. I have been looking at oauth2 and google analytics api v3 for around a week and have been stuck them. My scenario looks something like this, I have a web application which get the analytics data for different users using analytics api, and I do not want user login and consent page. I made a sample application which requires the user to login to google account and grant access. But I have the google accounts in my server database, so need the authentication and authorization to be done by the server. I am using c#. Please can you help me with this, I would be grateful. Please. Please. Please. Please.
I would like to push an event to a calendar pragmatically as my end user fills out a form. I don't want to have them authorize access since I don't need information from them. I just want to simply add an event to an existing calendar. Why is this so hard to do? Does anyone have a PHP script example they would like to share? I can't be the only person looking for such an example.
Finally got the service account working with the google-api-php-client library with Google Calendar v3 api. Able to view/edit/delete and create new events in a shared calendar.
actually i am collecting contineous data from google api but suddenly i am not able to get contineous data from service then what i have to ... i want to get contineous data from google api places what i have to do ? is any their suggestions ? please forward us

DeleteI'm trying to access to my Analytics data using OAuth2 and API Core v3 but I can't.
DeleteIf the Service Account is not available at this moment and you will shutdown the access the next June 10th...
How can I still accesss to my Analytics data after the shutdown of the older API versions?
Thanks

ReplyDeleteIf the Client Library for PHP is supported, does that mean you can access the Analytics service through the Client Library for PHP?
