UPDATE: yes, Google released a public REST API for Keep. Here&#39;s the [public documentation][1].

  [1]: https://developers.google.com/keep/api/reference/rest/

No there&#39;s not and developers still don&#39;t know why google doesn&#39;t pay attention to this request!    
      
As you can see in **[this link][1]** it&#39;s one of the most popular issues with many stars in google code but still no response from google! You can also add stars to this issue, maybe google hears that!

I have been waiting to see if Google would open a Keep API.  When I discovered Google Tasks, and saw that it had an Android app, web app, and API, I converted over to Tasks.  This may not directly answer your question, but it is my solution to the Keep API problem.

Tasks doesn&#39;t have a reminder alarm exactly like Keep.  I can live without that if I also connect with the Calendar API.

I&#39;m building an iOS app using a Storyboard. The root view controller is a Tab Bar Controller. I&#39;m creating the login/logout process, and it&#39;s mostly working fine, but I&#39;ve got a few issues. I need to know the BEST way to set all this up.

I want to accomplish the following:

 1. Show a login screen the first time the app is launched. When they login, go to the first tab of the Tab Bar Controller.
 2. Any time they launch the app after that, check if they are logged in, and skip straight to the first tab of the root Tab Bar Controller.
 3. When they manually click a logout button, show the login screen, and clear all the data from the view controllers.

What I&#39;ve done so far is set the root view controller to the Tab Bar Controller, and created a custom segue to my Login view controller. Inside my Tab Bar Controller class, I check whether they are logged in inside the `viewDidAppear` method, and a perform the segue: `[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@&quot;pushLogin&quot; sender:self];` 

I also setup a notification for when the logout action needs to be performed: `[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(logoutAccount) name:@&quot;logoutAccount&quot; object:nil];`

Upon logout, I clear the credentials from the Keychain, run `[self setSelectedIndex:0]` and perform the segue to show the login view controller again.

This all works fine, but I&#39;m wondering: **should this logic be in the AppDelegate?** I also have two issues:

- **The first time they launch the app**, the Tab Bar Controller shows briefly before the segue is performed. I&#39;ve tried moving the code to `viewWillAppear` but the segue will not work that early.
- When they logout, all the data is still inside all the view controllers. If they login to a new account, the old account data is still displayed until they refresh. **I need a way to clear this easily on logout.**

I&#39;m open to reworking this. I&#39;ve considered making the login screen the root view controller, or creating a navigation controller in the AppDelegate to handle everything... I&#39;m just not sure what the best method is at this point.

I want to change the Git default remote branch destination so I could just
   
    git push

Instead of:

    git push upstream

Currently this is set to the origin remote and I want to set it to a different remote.

I tried to remove the original (cloned from) remote

    git remote rm origin

Which did remove the original remote. But doesn&#39;t solve the `git push` problem. I still get:

&gt; fatal: No configured push destination. Either specify the URL from the  
&gt; command-line or configure a remote repository using...

I also tried to play with:
 
    git remote set-url --push myfork origin

and other options but none seem to work (maybe because I deleted the origin remote too soon?)

Following the [answer here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/820178/git-push-only-to-a-remote-branch) I tried to change:

    git config push.default upstream (or matching)

but neither worked.

Is there a API for Google Keep? I want to make a windows 8 app for Google Keep, so that it synchronizes with your phone. 

I looked into the Drive SDK because Google Keep is a extension of Google Drive, but I couldn&#39;t find it.

I&#39;m trying to implement Google plus sign up on my web app and I followed the google docs to set up the sign up however when I attempt a signup after accepting permissions and using the access token returned to me any api restcall I make returns the Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup error. I have already signed up my app with a ouath 2.0 key, so I don&#39;t seem to get what I&#39;m doing wrong. Here is my code.

Cient Side:

Keep getting a &quot;Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup&quot; when attempting to google plus login on my web app

To use google drive api, I have to play with the authentication using OAuth2.0. And I got a few question about this.

 1. Client id and  client secret are used to identify what my app is. But they must be hardcoded if it is a client application. So, everyone can decompile my app and extract them from source code. **Does it mean that a bad app can pretend to be a good app by using the good app&#39;s client id and secret?** So user would be showing a screen that asking for granting permission to a good app even though it is actually asked by a bad app? If yes, what should I do?  Or actually I should not worry about this?

 2. 
In mobile application, we can embedded a webview to our app. And it is easy to extract the password field in the webview because the app that asking for permission is actually a &quot;browser&quot;. **So, OAuth in mobile application does not have the benefit that client application has not access to the user credential of service provider?** 


client secret in OAuth 2.0

Let&#39;s say that I have a web app (&quot;mydriveapp&quot;) that needs to access Drive files in a background service. It will either own the files it is accessing, or be run in a Google Account with which the owner has shared the documents. 

I understand that my app needs a refresh token, but **I don&#39;t want to write the code to obtain that** since I&#39;ll only ever do it once.

**NB. This is NOT using a Service Account.** The app will be run under a conventional Google account. Service Account is a valid approach in some situations. However the technique of using Oauth Playground to simulate the app can save a bunch of redundant effort, and applies to any APIs for which sharing to a Service Account is unsupported.



How do I authorise an app (web or installed) without user intervention?

I have a web page which has links  at the bottom like this: 


    - &lt;a href=&#39;http://www.google.com/q?rome+photos&#39;&gt;photos of rome&lt;/a&gt;
    - &lt;a href=&#39;http://www.google.com/q?paris+photos&#39;&gt;photos of paris&lt;/a&gt;
    - &lt;a href=&#39;http://www.google.com/q?london+photos&#39;&gt;photos of london&lt;/a&gt;

The idea is that if somebody clicks we go to Google search image page and we search for those images of those cities. 

The questions are:

 1. what&#39;s the right URL for starting an image search in Google 
 2. is there a place in Google documentation where I can find this ? (I searched and could not find it)
 3. does Google restrict this type of usage for some reasons?


Edit:
The 3rd point is very important to me:
it&#39;s okay to work out the url from blogs and others but the question remains:
is google okay with this ?
will it ever discourage this approach ?
if so then all my urls would become suddenly worth nothing


Format for a url that goes to Google image search?

I am using https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json? link with server key and user IP to find the latitude and longitude of any address, when I&#39;m trying I find the error as

I have a server access key from google and I have put my server&#39;s IP address in the their white list.

The URL that I am trying to access via PHP CURL is:

&gt;https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&amp;sensor=true&amp;key=XXXXXXXXXXXX

The result that I am getting:

    Array ([error_message] =&gt; This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. [results] =&gt; Array ( ) [status] =&gt; REQUEST_DENIED)

Is there anything that I need to configure.The geocoding API is also switched on.

I uploaded a file to Google spreadsheets (to make a publically accessible example IPython Notebook, with data) I was using the file in it&#39;s native form could be read into a Pandas Dataframe. So now I use the following code to read the spreadsheet, works fine but just comes in as string,, and I&#39;m not having any luck trying to get it back into a dataframe (you can get the data)

    import requests
    r = requests.get(&#39;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak1ecr7i0wotdGJmTURJRnZLYlV3M2daNTRubTdwTXc&amp;output=csv&#39;)
    data = r.content

The data ends up looking like: (1st row headers)

    &#39;,City,region,Res_Comm,mkt_type,Quradate,National_exp,Alabama_exp,Sales_exp,Inventory_exp,Price_exp,Credit_exp\n0,Dothan,South_Central-Montgomery-Auburn-Wiregrass-Dothan,Residential,Rural,1/15/2010,2,2,3,2,3,3\n10,Foley,South_Mobile-Baldwin,Residential,Suburban_Urban,1/15/2010,4,4,4,4,4,3\n12,Birmingham,North_Central-Birmingham-Tuscaloosa-Anniston,Commercial,Suburban_Urban,1/15/2010,2,2,3,2,2,3\n

The native pandas code that brings in the disk resident file looks like:

    df = pd.io.parsers.read_csv(&#39;/home/tom/Dropbox/Projects/annonallanswerswithmaster1012013.csv&#39;,index_col=0,parse_dates=[&#39;Quradate&#39;])

A &quot;clean&quot; solution would be helpful to many to provide an easy way to share datasets for Pandas use! I tried a bunch of alternative with no success and I&#39;m pretty sure I&#39;m missing something obvious again.

Just a Update note The new Google spreadsheet has a different URL pattern Just use this in place of the URL in the above example and or the below answer and you should be fine here is an example: 

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/177_dFZ0i-duGxLiyg6tnwNDKruAYE-_Dd8vAQziipJQ/export?format=csv&amp;id

see solution below from @Max Ghenis which just used pd.read_csv, no need for StringIO or requests...

I have an Android app that stores my notes in [hidden app data][1]. I want to export my notes so the question is simple:   

How can I access the hidden app data in Google Drive for a specific app? 


  [1]: https://developers.google.com/drive/web/appdata

How can I see hidden app data in Google Drive?

I&#39;m not a programmer, just a regular user of Google Drive. I want to see if the files are uploaded correctly. I go through a whole process in the OAuth 2.0 Playground that lists all files, shows the MD5 checksums but also lots of information per file. If I upload a new file it&#39;s hard to search for it and verify its md5 checksum.

Is there an easier way (through an app, maybe?) to show/list MD5 checksums for the uploaded files? I wonder why the Details pane doesn&#39;t have it, only lists the file size in bytes.
