I need a little advice. I am developing an app in PHP without Zend (using CodeIgniter, actually) that will fire an email to all contacts in a group (or two, what have you) belonging to Contacts user "Joe Blow", asking them to update their contact info.
The contact info (of course) will be that which is stored in google contacts belonging to the user "Joe Blow" (who would presumably authorize the access to gdata via oAuth or OpenID... ??) The link in the email for them to click will include an encoded key of sorts to keep the contact editing restricted to each individual with a contact entry (only that contact can edit their entry). Of course, some gotchas' while looking into this are: 1) the ability to authorize a 'federated' (?) login from credentials stored on *my* server to allow contact "Bob Smith" access to modify data in my app and have my app use the API to change the contact data for "Bob Smith" on behalf of the Contacts user "Joe Blow" 2) PHP api calls... using curl? (I would like to shy from JS calls if possible) Any ideas would be great... from all my reading, this hasn't been done yet, and I don't know if it's even possible to access the protected data without user authorization at each transaction?? this is my first attempt at using the google api's so excuse my ignorance, I have been scouring the docs... (btw: sorry if this is unclear or insane... its late and I'm tired :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Contacts API" group.
