Thank you so much Trevor for your help! make sense 8-). For web based installed apps (like a cross-breed between browser app and installed app), which path would make more sense?
1. ClientLogin with GData API (no client lib) given - 'The Google Data APIs use support multiple authentication methods, depending on what kind of client you're writing. If your client is a standalone single-user "installed" application (such as a desktop application), then you should use the "ClientLogin"; if your client is a multi-user web application client, then you should choose between "AuthSub" and "OAuth"; and if your application is a gadget (for use in iGoogle or other OpenSocial containers), then you should refer to the Authentication for Gadgets section.' 2. AuthSub with JS Client Lib The dilemma I see here is this: 1 would provide a better login experience for web based installed apps in this case, but 2 is more straightforward. THANKS SO MUCH!
