Is the Google Logs (Java) API only for querying logs of the GAE application where it is called from or can it be used more broadly for querying logs for all GAE applications that belong to the same account?
And it the second is not possible, does Google provide an API for retrieving status information (e.g. logs) about all applications under one account?
What I'd like to do is call such an API at regular intervals to ask e.g. if any recent HTTP requests resulted in errors: this would give a quick dashboard summary based on a subset of information (also) presented in the Google Developers Console.
As far as I know this isn't possible. But, you can download logs using appcfg (for any app) - maybe that is an option?

I have a Google Apps Script deployed as a web app. It is configured to run as me, as it creates and amends events on my calendar and uses a Google sheet of mine as its data store.
There is a requirement that users are NOT required to have a Google (or any other specific type of) account to log on, so I have written a bespoke login function.
The problem I have is reliably identifying the user session.
User properties/cache doesn't work as the user is me for all users.
Is there a way I can identify something unique about the actual user to identify their session?
I understand that web apps run on Google's server and that I have no access to the user's browser so cookies and similar technologies are not an option.
I am creating a software-platform in Symfony3 (a PHP framework). In this platform, there needs to be a page with links to approximately 20 different websites (among others: Google Analytics, Google TagManager, Rocket.Chat)
My goal is to enable the following functionality:
Upon having clicked on one of these links that are in my platform, I want to redirect the user to that particular site, while having them logged in.
So for example:
There is a 'link' to Google Analytics and when being clicked, the user needs to be redirected to their campaign within Google Analytics.
Note: The username/password that will be used to perform this login will be the same throughout all the different sites. We have a database with these credentials for each user, which we want to use to login to those different services.
I was thinking about using cURL, but this would not be a universal technique. (and bring forwards many security implications)
Another option would be to use the Google API to perform an authentication, but I could not find such functionality. (Normally, it is the other way around: logging into your platform by means of a google account)
I look forward hearing from your input!
Kind regards,
Jeroen
I am trying to find something from Google Cloud that is similar to the Interactive Spotify API Web Console. Does anyone have any ideas that requires a sign into the Google account associated with the Google Cloud? Thanks!
This is available through the API reference pages: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/apis
On every method page, there's a form you can use on the right to test it out from the browser using your Google account.
For example, take a look at this page to list your Cloud SQL instances: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/v1beta4/instances/list
I have spent the last couple of nights bashing my head against the wall amongst a see of conflicting out of date documentation and semi-helpful blog posts that were/are appropriate to what I am trying to do.
Essentially I want to write a wee personal app do download my images from PicasaWeb/Google+ and store them on my local hard disk.
I have managed to do the following:
Figured out the GData API for the appropriate request to get private album data (works fine in my 'google-logged-in' chrome browser)
Got the correct private data back from my GData URL with the token generated by the OAuth playground.
Managed to get an OAuth2 token back from https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token using JWT.
However - when I try my access token I generate myself I get back a forbidden response with the message 'Not authorized to view access private'.
I am pretty stumped - my only guess is that my service account configured in google developers console doesn't actually have access to my personal google stuff like google+ photos. When I look in there I can see the OAuth playground has access. How do I give my app access - and do I need to in this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
"my only guess is that my service account configured in google developers console doesn't actually have access to my personal google stuff".
Totally correct.
I guess I see 2-3 questions per month on SO where people have made the false assumption that a Service Account is some kind of proxy to their Google Account. It isn't. It's a completely new and independent account.
The two approaches you can take are:-
Share the items to the Service Account so it has permission to access them.
Give your app direct access to your Picassa account. See How do I authorise an app (web or installed) without user intervention? (canonical ?) for the steps involved.
Im using the Google PHP API Client http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/ to retrieve data from the google API.
Logging in thru OAuth2 and fetch user information works like a charm, but when I'm attempting to access the goole analytics api i get this 403 code error every time. Hundreds of users with the same problem forgot to activate the Google Analytics API in the service settings, or simply provided incorrect credentials (client_id & client_secret). I've tried to enable/disable the Google Analytics multiple times, and logging in/out from my google accounts, but no result.
Anyone that has any pointers for me?
(Remember, the OAuth procedure works, since I'm getting both an access_token and refresh_token)
I'm using the simple.php example in the class examples folder...
I'm working on Drive myself and understand the issue. I've been having some troubles understanding Google and their PHP api somewhat. I've finally got it to work with some clarification of examples found around the internet.
Your problem sounds like you didn't set your scope to Google analytics but, please be clear in the steps you've taken as well as the code you've tried using.
The error could be as simple as forgetting this line in your oAuth callback file:
$client->addScope(Google_Service_Analytics::ANALYTICS);
To something complex as understanding if you need a full paid account to access information from Google about your Analytics (not included as free like Google+ and Google drive).
