Hi Everyone, I'm having a hard time figuring this out and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for what to read.
I've written an appengine app, a servlett, that will accept data from a get request, check if the user is signed in to a google account and then store the data from the request in the datastore (with a User as part of the model). All pretty standard. I'd like for a python script to be able to automate the data input (think returning the results of s...@home) but it's important that the python client be able to authenticate itself via a google account. I'm at a bit of a loss for where to even start... these seem like good places, but I don't even know enough to be sure which, if any, will work: http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuthForInstalledApps.html -- seems like the best shot but they say as a log in for 'one or more google service' which I'm not sure my app counts as.. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata.html -- I think this is not so good as I would have to give every user too lenient permissions for my app I've looked through the gdata source code as well trying to authenticate with a generic service, but I'm not sure if gdata authentication is universal enough to work with an arbitrary appengine app. Ideally if someone can get me started or point me at the correct place that would be great. I'd rather not do this over email or xmpp, but I'm considering those options. Thank you anyone for your help!, Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
