i need help for my application "Google App Script".
I am the owner of a Spreadsheet that I use as a DB in my application; this spreadsheet must remain private.
My application is executed as Gadget in Google Site, in this application a user runs the script as himself (not under the owner's identity).
I need that all users who access the application can get some data from the DB Spreadsheet.
How can users get this data, if the Spreadsheet is only accessible to me?
Can I use oAuth?
Sorry for the bad English
Following Zig answer and to illustrate, here is an example of such a contentService webapp, one can call it with this url either in a browser or in urlFetch
The app is deployed as follows : execute as me and anyone can access even anonymous
https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbxfk5YR-JIlhv7HG9R7F-cPxmL0NZRzrdGF4VFGxGivBkYeZY4/exec?&user=chris&row=4&sheet=Sheet1
and here is the demo script
function doGet(e) {
if(e.parameter.user!='serge' && e.parameter.user!='chris' ){return ContentService.createTextOutput("logging error, you are not allowed to see this").setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT)};
var sheet = e.parameter.sheet;
var row = Number(e.parameter.row);
Logger.log(sheet+' '+row);
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("0AnqSFd3iikE3dENnemR2LVFMTFM5bDczNGhfSG11LVE");// this sheet is private but anyone can call this app
var sh = ss.getSheetByName(sheet);
var range = sh.getRange(row,1,1,sh.getLastColumn());
var val = Utilities.jsonStringify(range.getValues());
var result = ContentService.createTextOutput(val).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
return result;
}
No you cant use oauth from the gadget as the user doesnt have read permission.
However you can publish a second script to extract needed data that runs as you with anonymous public access and call that one with urlfetch from the 1st. Slower thou.

We are using Spreadsheet API in our .Net Application to change content dynamically in the spreadsheet, and we are using that content to update values in the Google Ads with AdWords Script.
But from 1st June 2015 we are facing issues in our .Net Application, because of the update in the Spreadsheet API.
Our earlier work :- We were making window based application and scheduling it hourly. In the background it was retrieving and adding value in the spreadsheet. In the previous application, we used to authenticate our Gmail id and password only once in our code.
Below is the exact problem we are facing :-
As per the new API we need to authenticate our app each and every time it runs and also every time we need to put unique access code, which will badly affect our automation.
I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter, and looking forward to your revert.
After lot of R&D I got the solution.

//it will insert value into table entries
function main() {
// Replace the variables in this block with real values.
var address = 'Your Server IP:1433';
var user = 'Server username';
var userPwd = Server Password';
var db = 'lms';
var dburl = 'jdbc:sqlserver://Your Server IP:1433;DataBaseName=lms';
// Write one row of data to a table.
var conn = Jdbc.getConnection(dburl, user, userPwd);
Logger.log(conn);
var stmt = conn.prepareStatement('INSERT INTO entries '
+ '(guestName, content) values (?, ?)');
stmt.setString(1, 'First Guest');
stmt.setString(2, 'Hello, world');
stmt.execute();
// Write 500 rows of data to a table in a single batch.

in Apps Script, I would like to fetch click statistics for previously generated short URLs via the Google URL shortener API.
I'm afraid I don't really get the API documentation. This is what I tried:
function GetShortUrlClicks() {
var analytics = UrlShortener.Url.get('http://goo.gl/WPN7wo').getAnalytics();
var clicks = analytics.getAllTime();
Logger.log(clicks)
}
It seems that the variable analytics is undefined and thus the next line throws an error.
Any help is much appreciated.
You are missing the optional args required to get the Analytics data back.
This function ought to work -
function GetShortUrlClicks() {
var analytics = UrlShortener.Url.get('http://goo.gl/WPN7wo',{projection:'FULL'}).getAnalytics();
var clicks = analytics.getAllTime();
Logger.log(clicks)
}
You can use more see more reference here - https://developers.google.com/url-shortener/v1/url/get
To check if the view of a user is working or to make change out of the users view point (in development) it can be quite useful to incarnate a certain user.
How would I do this with Meteor? Best would be a solution which is independent of the Account Authentication.
To impersonate a user in production, you can call setUserId on the server, and Meteor.connection.setUserId on the client. For more details, see my blog post.
If you're using Meteor.userId() and Meteor.user() to identify your person in your javascript you could use something like this to override it at the very top of your client js
Meteor.userId = function (impersonate_id) {
return (impersonate_id) ? impersonate_id : Meteor.default_connection.userId();
}
Meteor.user = function (impersonate_id) {
var userId = Meteor.userId(impersonate_id);
if (!userId)
return null;
return Meteor.users.findOne(userId);
}
And now when you use Meteor.userId or Meteor.user modify your code so everywhere you use Meteor.user & Meteor.userId accepts an argument. So when you want to impersonate a user just pass it argument of the _id of the user you want to log in as
Meteor.user("1"); //Loads the data for user with _id 1
Meteor.user(); //Loads the actual logged in user
Also this will only work if you're actually the admin and your publish function allows you to see all your user's data
I developed a program which works well and I can import data from gmail but. I want to keep track how is the user given permission to manage contacts. But after a hard search I did not get any Idea about the loged in user. My code is as follows.
============================================
var parameters = new OAuth2Parameters
{
ClientId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ClientID"].ToString(),
ClientSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ClientSecret"].ToString(),
RedirectUri = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RedirectURL"].ToString(),
Scope ="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"
};
parameters.AccessCode = Request.QueryString["Code"].ToString();
OAuthUtil.GetAccessToken(parameters);
Session["Token"] = parameters.AccessToken;
==================================
But I dont how to get email of logged in user. Please let me that
Thanks in advance
Request an additionall scope of https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email and then you can access the user info as well. There is also a userinfo.profile witch contains other info on the user like name, profile picture, language and so on.
Your code looks like C# but I only have a Python example of using multiple scopes and sharing tokens.
Code: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-oauth-demo/
Article: http://www.hackviking.com/2013/10/python-get-user-info-after-oauth/
My problem is I have existing user in database which store the key and secret from the first authentication. I wish to reuse it again when I come back. For the first time authentication, everything working fine. I can use every method call from Dropbox API and the Token(key and secret) was stored in database.
I come back to app and get the Token from database, set it to the session, link current session with API.
session = new WebAuthSession(appKeys, ACCESS_TYPE);
api = new DropboxAPI<WebAuthSession>(session);
String userKey = dropboxUserObj.getUserKey(); //Key from database
String userSecret = dropboxUserObj.getUserSecret();//Secret from database
AccessTokenPair userAccessTokenPair = new AccessTokenPair(userKey, userSecret);
session.setAccessTokenPair(userAccessTokenPair);
It return DropboxUnlinkedException to me when I want to get user data from api using
String userDisplayName = api.accountInfo().displayname;
I have checked on debug mode. Api was linked with the current session. The current session stored Appkey and user's token and correct access type. The point that I doubt is I saw "client = null". I maybe forgot something but I check them all, try every possibilities I can think of but it still return me "DropboxUnlinkedException" which mean I haven't set an access token pair on the session and I didn't revoke access for sure.
Please help me figure out...
I added a screenshot maybe it can illustrate my problem
