Cool. How much harder are the GData APIs to use, compared to the easier Google APIs, like Maps?

The Base API was pretty easy, it just uses REST, I believe (you download an XML/Atom file via HTTP and then parse it), I hacked up this sample:
blogoscoped.com/base/
However for this sample I did not use any authentication feature other than providing a developer key, i.e. I didn't actually change data!

I'm still waiting for the client libraries (C#, C++, Python etc.) to be updated with support for the Spreadsheet API. Who wants to specify and parse all that XML manually?
|
|
okay... if I'm reading the documentation right... you can not overwrite cells?
only write to blank ones?
That's CRAZY!
I thought I could handle all the limitations I read about until I saw that!
Reto.... welcome to Web 2.0! If you don't have a good method for parsing XML, you may be left in the dark...
(almost every language has some good libraries you can use... I work with c# all the time!)

Has anyone else done any work with the spreadsheet API?
