"It will work. What isn't made clear is that it is case-sensitive, and it's compounded by servers and messing about with case, as in your situation."
So are you saying the error is coming from the server? I tried registering the address: http://www.uky.edu/UKFCU when I was trying to set it up the first time. I also tried the lowercase form of it. Neither worked. It sounds like you are saying that somewhere in the server and google the case gets messed up, is this correct? Or...if on my server it was set up like: http://www.uky.edu/ukfcu that it would have been more likely to work the first time? I agree it is not unreasonable to expect people to look in an FAQ, I think they are very helpful. I just think that when starting something new to you, it is hard to learn when it does not work, and since it seems that using the top-level domain generally works the easiest....to me, this would help others new to using google API. Thanks for the input, I think I understand it better now.
