Is there any way to work with Privacy lists via REST API? I know that the iOS SDK and now the Android SDK do this, but I need a web solution. Thank you!
Yes,
Privacy lists API is the XMPP Roster API
Here is a list of all XMPP libraries https://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/libraries/
Here is the XMPP documentation http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3921.html
check 5,6,7,8,9 sections

Currently our app uses OAuth requests in web-views.
Google will not allow OAuth requests in an embedded browser called "web-views".google_developer_blog
So, we are planning to use Firebase Authentication.
This method is not in best practice, but I would like to tell you if there is any problem.
Thank you in advance.
Google OAuth plans to deprecate embedded webviews. However, you are OK to use SFSafariViewController for iOS apps and Chrome Custom Tab for Android Apps. If none of these are supported, you can open a system browser. All of these flows are allowed for OAuth flows and are more secure than embedded webviews.
I am new to titanium and am trying to make a directory of contacts using Google Contact API. I have read up on it yet aren't seeing too many helpful examples. I know I need authentication yet I can't seem to figure out where to start. Any help is appreciated.
You may know some of this already but here's the broad strokes overview for others and an answer to your question (Any help is appreciated).
You need to create an (Google) account and register your project/application first in order to make requests for non-public user data. The request must include an access token. The token also identifies your application to Google.
In order to authenticate a user/application: You will need to Use OAuth 2.0 to authorize requests. You must register your project in the Google API Console and enable the Contacts API service in order to use OAuth 2.0.
To implement the OAuth protocol in a Titanium app you can follow along with the sample/tutorial in this blog post:
OAuth Login for Titanium
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'm about to start a project that requires some simple YouTube non-write data operations, like gathering users playlists and videos. I read that the YouTube 2.0 API is deprecated, but I don't really want to use OAuth authentication required for API 3.0.
Does this mean that the GDATA API deprecated (in particular this: https://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html
Google's GData API for YouTube was deprecated on 2014-03-14 according to their api status page. This was after your original question was asked, but I'm leaving this here for other's (like myself) who are trying to keep track of which api is current..
While you do not want to use OAuth 2.0 authentication, it would appear that you will need to make the transition to use YouTube API 3.0 version. If you do want your project to have a long life, you should make the effort to move to the new authentication mechanism. This will serve you well if you access other Google (and many other cloud service) apis.
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.
