I'm trying to use Google Contacts API to add a entry to the user's contacts. I've managed to use OAuth2 and get access token and make an authorised request to Google Contacts API. But I did it manually, a simple GET to https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full. I want to use gdata so I don't have to manually create the xml.
The problem is I cannot authorise the gdata's ContactsClient.
From the doc:
gd_client = gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient(source='YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME')
# Authorize the client.
But how do I authorise it? The example uses email ans password to create an authorised ContactsClient
self.gd_client = gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient(source='GoogleInc-ContactsPythonSample-1')
self.gd_client.ClientLogin(email, password, self.gd_client.source)
And so far I haven't found how to authorise the gdata client.
I did found that I can pass a gdata.gauth.ClientLoginToken to gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient, but it didn't work as well
auth_token = gdata.gauth.ClientLoginToken(credentials.access_token)
gd_client = gdata.contacts.client.ContactsClient(
source='project-id',
auth_token=auth_token)
contact = create_contact(gd_client)
I get a 401 - Unauthorized "There was an error in your request. That's all we know"
This create_contact comes from the doc
Using example @dyerad indicated and the spinet for create contacts on the Google Contacts API doc I created the example code below.
I just had to fix a wee error on the create_contact snippet I took from the doc. You should use
# Set the contact's postal address.
new_contact.structured_postal_address.append(gdata.data.StructuredPostalAddress(
rel=gdata.data.WORK_REL, primary='true',
street=gdata.data.Street(text='1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy'),
city=gdata.data.City(text='Mountain View'),
region=gdata.data.Region(text='CA'),
postcode=gdata.data.Postcode(text='94043'),
country=gdata.data.Country(text='United States')))
instead of
# Set the contact's postal address.
new_contact.structured_postal_address.append(
rel=gdata.data.WORK_REL, primary='true',
street=gdata.data.Street(text='1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy'),
city=gdata.data.City(text='Mountain View'),
region=gdata.data.Region(text='CA'),
postcode=gdata.data.Postcode(text='94043'),
