Google Apps
• Google’s Enterprise Solution
• Consists of Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Groups, Google Calendar, Gmail and Postini.
• All services can be extended programmatically using Google Data API
Extending Google Apps: Google Data APIs
• Google Data APIs is made up of Google Docs API, Google Calendar API, Google SpeadsheetAPI, Google Contacts, Google YouTube, Google Health et cetera
• Use any platform you are familiar with. i.eJava, PHP, Python, .NET
How it works – using ZendGData
Using Gdata PHP Client Library
//Initialize by Form HTTP Client Authentication – Preferred for Desktop application
function getGoogleLoginHttpClient($user, $pass)
{
$service = Zend_Gdata_Docs::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $service);
return $client;
… //retrieve content based on Google Services
}
//Initialize by AUTHSUB – Preferred for web applications
function getGoogleAccessByAuthSub() {
$service = Zend_Gdata_Contacts::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $service);
return $client;
… … //retrieve content based on Google Services
}
