WOW I am so happy someone posted this feature request for the API. It is really frusterating that Google Groups for Business *details* cannot be seen and/or manipulated via the Python API.
This is a necessary part of our workflow, and it does not make sense that google would implement something via the GUI that cannot be done via the API. Does anyone know why they did this? Wouldnt it make more sense to wait until the API is working before having a feature available via GUI? Now we have put all this work into the "group details", for hundreds of groups, and the only way to see it / change it is to log in graphically? to quote a prior post in this thread, this is very un-google-esque!! I guess we could write something to dump and parse via lynx, but then as soon as something changes, our code becomes worthless. this is the opposite of "scalable" Google, please listen to your audience. we need to view/change the group details settings via the API. PLEASE!! Also, it is important for us to be able to parse thru the thousands of archived group emails via python API. I see that this is not possible either. Someone actually suggested adding a "silent user" and use IMAP w/ filters. This is neither manageable nor scalable (we have 1000's of groups) GOOGLE, please fix these serious deficiencies and give us an ETA. thnx in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Apps Domain Information and Management APIs" group.
