I wish to access Google Prediction from my Google App Engine python application. I have read the documentation at oauth.net, and I believe I need "2-legged" authentication. I believe this is the case because I simply want to access a GP from GAE, using my GAE's app_id and secret I created on the Google console.
I also really do not want to have to click a approve button when I access the prediction api. I just want to use it (or at most, I want to do this once). I am not using anyone's data, I am simply stating I wish to use a API *as* the application itself, isn't there some way to simply do this? It seems like a library should exist that allows me to enter nothing more than my client_id and client secret, and get access to other Google API resources. As a side note, I find it incredible that the people who are doing the search, predict, translate, etc Google Labs are not up in arms about being put behind OAuth. Putting your services behind something that seems to REQUIRE A SERVER TO ACCESS basically guarantees that your API will never gain critical mass. It's like hearing the ice cream truck rounding the corner, running outside, and then discovering a 10 foot wall between your house and your street. Ice cream is great, but it isn't usually worth scaling a wall to get. tldr; Does anyone have a example of accessing the prediction api from a GAE (Python) application? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
