Sorry, I'll clarify. Maybe we're referring to two different things. 1. I'm referring to google spreadsheet only, not any any other docs. Only the Spreadsheet UI allows 'editable' for all (i.e. anyone on the Internet). Described here: http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=96346&topic=15169
2. This is how I do it - Open Spreadsheet, click on "Share", Click "Share with the world", then Select "Let people edit without signing in". So in this case, no login should be required. And it works but a bit randomly as outlined above. Looks like if you have 'some' google cookies - it works. Even if these are not authentication related cookies. Sounds funny. 3. And now - the steps in #2 are what I want to do through an API call. Any insight will be very helpful. Thanks again!!
