I have been searching for Google+ API integration with Java. All I got is that there is read-only access to it using Google+ Domain API. Is there any possible way, we can integrate google plus API in Java other than using domain API?
Right now, Google Plus api are restricted to read only mode and you can access them only by domain api.

I am implementing Login with Google using OAuth API but I can't find it to enable it on Google Developer console.
We need to enable Google+ API to implement Google OAuth in application.
I want to develop application for google fit i followed This Link they mentioned to activate google fit API under oath and Api section.
But i cannot see anything related to google fit api in the developer console.
Go to the Google Developer Console and open up your respective project. Under APIs and AUTH -> APIs you should see a list of the available APIs. Enable the fitness API and you should be good.
You can also connect to Terra's API to access Google's API, amongst every other wearable
I come in order to have some information about Google API and particularly the authentication "Service account"
I have the same problem that this guy is having, and although that concerns another API, he explains the problem very well.
For a few days now I have already read some articles:
Google dev
DrEdit for .Net
C# sample
I have already registered for a Google API account and I am using the Client Key and Secret that was provided to me. I then downloaded the following libraries:
google-api-dotnet-client-1.2.4737-beta.source.zip
youtube-api-samples
google-youtube-v3-rev35-csharp-1.2.0-beta
Nothing has helped me so far...
I would like to know if Picasa web and the Youtube API v2 or v3 can use oAuth2.0 Service account as I am not able to find anything about that. I am currently using Picasa Web oAuthv1.0 and I found it really easy to use but I would like to migrate to Google Youtube API v3/Picasa web API.
The basic workflow idea:
Private Pictures and videos are created specifically for a web site.
Users will log into the site (it isn't a Google users) and see pictures and videos -> All users that successfully log into the site have access to all youtube videos and picasa pictures and this medias are private in Google
The only example I've found anywhere that shows how to use authentication was in a ASP.NET MVC project that unfortunately requires user interaction and i don't want that.
Can someone please me on this? Does anyone has a piece of code written in Javascript or C# for connecting to the API with Service account or is it better for now to authenticate with oAuthv1.0? Any help will be highly appreciated!!
Take a look in Which Google APIs can be accessed with service account authorization? it contains a list of all APIs which support service account.
As far as I know, Picasa and Youtube don't support service account.
Based on the article posted by peleyal, it is my intepretation that YouTube should support the service account. In the answer on the related article, it states "All Google APIs that supports OAuth 2.0 should work with Service Accounts".
Assuming YouTube is a Google API, it also should work.
I'm not 100% confident in that answer unfortunately, because I have seen documentation elsewhere that says Service Accounts: "Several Google APIs act on behalf of an application and do not access user information." https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#serviceaccount
Does accessing the YouTube APIs constitute "user information"? The answer to that question is the reason I'm not 100% confident without trying it. An expensive time proposition.
Is it necessary to have Google account to use google+ apis like google hangout etc ? Like with Google maps it is not required.
Yes, you do need a Google account to use the Google+ APIs. The reason differs based on the API you're interested in using, though.
REST APIs
You need an API key to use the Google+ REST APIs. You can acquired an API key from the Google API Console. You need a Google account to use the API console. This API key is used for many things including to manage your quota.
Hangouts API
The Hangouts API requires a Google account for two reasons. First, you must use the API console to create your project. Next, you must have a Google account to start a hangout.
Is basic/digest auth sufficient for a google chrome extension to authenticate into a web based API? Can someone hack into it? I thought that I dont need OAuth because the API is not a 3rd party API but part of my service (for which I plan to create an API and the Google Chrome extension which will use the API...)
