my dev and I would like to implement the google picker on our website. It will allow the web-visitor to upload their files from their Google drive to our website.
My dev is now trying to get the API for the google picker however they are asking for a "demo video that showcases the process to request an OAuth token" and we were wondering how we should do it when we don't have the API from google.
We are doing all of this on the staging site and we were wondering how are we suppose to do this demo video when the API is not provided and not installed.
please enlighten us, thank you!
See the question How can I make sure the verification process is as streamlined as possible? in the FAQ. It explains what the verification team is looking for with the video. Mostly it's just about showing how your product uses OAuth and the various APIs -- in your case how it asks for access to Drive, how the picker is used, etc. You're showing the integration from the user perspective.

I am trying to connect to google photo in angular and been searching since last two days about google photos REST api but couldn't find any useful example.
Could somebody help me with this on how to use google photos api in angular. an example would be great if I get it working I will creating sample and put it on github or others to look at.
Another thing I am trying is to connect api without any user interaction. I have tried playgrounds but its prompting to authorize access as well. Idea is to build ionic app that can connect to my google photos without needing me to authenticate access to it with my id and secret.
my app would be in angular(ionic) or java(android) so would prefer example (if any) in those platform but ok with dotnet or php as well. Won't be able to use library in dotnet or php.
Thanks

I'm in marketing and hoping someone here can provide some guidance. I have been searching for a solution that will allow potential customers to click on a link present in an advertisement and have the link open our Facebook Group in their FB app. Today, the mobile web browser takes over.
I've been researching this for some time and recently found Branch.IO. I'm just not sure the best approach to take to accomplish my goal. Most of the examples I've seen are to launch a companies mobile app with deep linking to a product. I suppose this is similar but the app is Facebook and the deep link is to our group.
If someone would be willing to assist I would be very appreciative. Thank you!
For Facebook app to be opened consistently, you would need to integrate Branch SDK into the app. Since you do not have access to Facebook's code base - you will not be able to do this.
The setup is still possible with Branch, but you would have to rely on the URI schemes provided here: What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?
You may utilize Branch's integration guide for best integration results.
However, you may be better off using a simple link shortener of some sort to direct users to your Facebook group on web.
I am trying to make a webpage that can display information about documents on my google drive. For example I would like to display the titles of all my google documents on a webpage. I don't want the user to have to be logged into a google account, and I don't want to have to authorize anything (or the user to authorize anything). I just want the user to be able to see what I display - in a read only format - when they navigate to the page. The user will have no chance to edit or upload or delete anything, they can just view the info I display.
Is there a way to get files from google drive (via the API or any other way) possibly without using oauth 2.0? I've looked through the api docs and even coded up the sample apps, but all of them have a step that says, "Go to this URL, click Allow, enter the code" then you get access. These steps shouldn't be necessary. I just want to download the file and be able to manipulate it (either in memory or as a stream) then display something about it.
Also, I may misunderstand how OAuth 2.0 works so if that seems like the case, any helpful information would be much appreciated. Thank you.
You don't need to authenticate your visitors into Google, but need to authenticate yourself, so your web app can retrieve data from your personal Drive.
Get an access token and refresh token for yourself, store them and autenticate your requests. If you're using one of our client libraries, most of them refresh the access tokens once they are expired. See Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications for more details and OAuth 2.0 Playground helps you to understand how to get these tokens.
I need to create posts, etc through my ASP.NET MVC 4 application.
Does anyone know decent library for Google Plus API? (Preferable as a NuGet package).
There is currently no publicly documented API that lets you automatically post to your Google+ page or stream.
There is an API that HootSuite is currently using that is slowly opening up to other vendors. See https://plus.google.com/u/0/104946722942277428266/posts/LUi2ZNyRHag for more information about what is coming and how you can sign up to request access to this. This is expected to allow you to post to a Google+ Page.
There is also the "Google+ History API" that is currently in developer preview which will allow you to create moments for a user, but they would need to manually share these moments on their stream if they choose to do so. See https://developers.google.com/+/history/ for further details.
I am interested in creating a Google plus application.But I come to know that Google haven't released its api yet.Then How these guys are creating Google plus applications?

Thanks in advance.
The second one looks like the only thing it does is to allow you to access the mobile version through desktop browser, so my guess is that is "faking" the the User Agent of a mobile browser to cheat Google+.
The first one, if it just imports the photos from Facebook and adds them to Google+ it may be using the Picasa api, since it's where Google+ stores the pictures.
Even if you cannot access Google+ api just yet you can use the other Google ones to "influence" what you get in Google+. Just be creative :)
The API has now been announced at: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-started-on-google-api.html and the official homepage is: http://developers.google.com/+/
