I've managed to get OAuth working to access Google Contacts from GAE. I'm using the Python client libraries and I can - as a test - list all the contacts from a suitably authorized *gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient*object. However it fails when I try to add a new contact using the ContactsClient object. I create the new 'random' entry using code similar to that in one of the getting started docs:
*r = str(datetime.now().strftime(**'%s'**))* *new_contact = gdata.contacts.ContactEntry(title=atom.Title(text=** 'Adrian.XXXX.'**+r))* *new_contact.content = atom.Content(text=**'This is a test contact generated at time '**+r)* *new_contact.email.append(gdata.contacts.Email(address=**'adrian.xxxx.'**+r+ **'**@gmail.com**'**, primary=**'true'**, rel=gdata.contacts.REL_WORK))* but the call to actually add the contact *contact_entry = client.add_contact(new_contact)* fails with "*Server responded with: 400, Entry does not have any fields set. *" However, if I log new_contact then I get pretty much the XML I would expect it. *<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>**<ns0:entry xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>* ***<ns0:content>This is a test contact generated at time 1298323404</ns0:content>* *<ns0:title>Adrian.XXXX.1298323404</ns0:title>* *<ns1:email address="[email protected]" primary="true" rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work"; xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005"; />* *</ns0:entry>* Does anybody have any idea what might be going wrong. I saw some posts about a similar problem from 2008 but I think they were generating the XML by hand and there was a problem with missing namespaces. I don't see how that can be the problem here. As always, any help would be greatly appreciated, Adrian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Contacts, Shared Contacts and User Profiles APIs" group.
