where are domains being mentioned with respect to google-base? what type of data is planned to be inserted or queried? http://code.google.com/apis/base/
for the google-base-data-api all inserts on done by google on google's servers -- so, there is no practical use for localhost in this regard. generally, there are two avenues for testing: (1) use the dry-run option during the insert -- the item is not physically inserted into google's data-store but the returned xml can be inspected to verify potential results; (2) use a custom item-type -- custom item-types are not subject to the same strict policies or requirements as google-defined item-types. dry-run and custom item-types allow some degree of a testing environment. all that's required for testing otherwise is generally -- a valid, active, google-base account and adding your development api-key to requests. however, most google-defined item-types -- such as housing and products -- do not in any way allow testing. using test or example data for google-defined "live" item-types may get the item or website disapproved -- and may require intervention by google. recipes has rather lenient policies and requirements; but there are requirements -- http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66773 what errors are being seen during the recipes insert? what does the sent and returned xml look like? is the proper google-base account information -- email-login and password -- being used? try using the demo api for the insert -- http://www.google.com/base/api/demo/html/demo.html that said, authorization to use your application is another topic altogether; authentication may require api libraries and application code to be hosted on a user's machine or on a website -- but where the application is hosted is somewhat outside the scope of the actual data inserts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
