Hi, I am new to the Google Base Data API and am trying to write a simple program which will automate uploads of my product database to Google Base. My current implementation calls service.Insert() repeatedly to upload all the product data. This works most of the time -- sometimes I get an "Authentication Required" error, sometimes not. I don't know why this is the case, because I have currently hard-coded my username and password in (later I will make them configurable) and they are not changing. There is no observable pattern to the failures.
Also, the upload currently seems quite slow. I imagine that a batch insert would likely be much faster -- is this the case? I would like to implement the batch insert and see if there is any difference in this regard, but the Developer's Guide and all the other documentation I have been able to find are of little help. There is one example in the docs showing how to formulate the XML for a batch insert, but if it is possible to do it using just a few method calls, I would prefer to do that rather than generating the XML manually. There is also an example using the Java client library -- I am sure the C# API is quite similar, but the example leaves some important steps out so it also does not solve my problem. I have been clicking through the C# client library API docs for a couple hours -- they just show what classes and methods are available, but do not explain what each class/method is for. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated... To make it really simple this is what I need: I have a GBaseService object and a bunch of GBaseEntry objects. How do I upload all the Entry objects in one go rather than inserting them one by one?
