GoogleCL

GoogleCL is a project hosted under google codes to bring Google services to command line.

Currently support the following Google services:

* Blogger

$ google blogger post –title “cetly” “testing googlecl”

* Calendar

$ google calendar add “cetlylive’s birthday”

* Contacts

$ google contacts list name,email > contacts.csv

* Docs

$ google docs edit –title “task for round1″

* Picasa*

$ google picasa create –title “Worldcup Photos” ~/photos/wc/*.jpg

* Youtube*

$ google youtube post –category wavin_flag.avi

Installing GoogleCL in ubuntu

Open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo apt-get install python-gdata

sudo dpkg -i http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl_0.9.5-1_all.deb

Or you can get the tar/deb pakage from here

*(picassa and youtube requires your web browser to grand access forthe first time. After that, GoogleCL will cache an oauth token in a config directory so that you don’t have to do this again)

My test

In my test every service required web browser to grand access forthe first time. And there are number of bugs yet to be corrected
