I assume you have a Google account you'll use for managing all the data used by your application. More correctly, you have a [email protected] and some.account.password for your account. Check the following documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/base/starting-out.html#accessing
You are interested in the "Authenticating the user" chapter, the Programmatic Login <http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps.html>link: you basically authenticate with your account information using ClientLogin and obtain a token. Now, add that token to all your requests, as described in the documentation. The token has a limited validity period. You will have to request a token again once the token expires. Let me know if you need more information, Alex On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 3:00 PM, conman < [email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am new to Google Base API and have just read through the docs but I > am still confused > as how to establish authentication so my web application can insert/ > edit or delete items inside Google Base. > (btw.
