Gmail Contacts Data API access with ColdFusion
I've been looking at accessing the Gmail contact data via their API. This is the first draft of my findings and is no way the finished solution but it does what it says on the tin and returns the email address's from a users Gmail account contacts. Its actually quite simple to and we're going to do this in 2 CFM pages.
We are going to be using the AuthSub method of registration
There are three levels of registration:
- Unregistered: Application is not recognized by Google. The Access Request page, which prompts your users to either grant or deny access for your application, displays this caution highlighted in yellow: "Non-registered, not secure. This website has not registered with Google. We recommend that you continue the process only if you trust this destination."
- Registered: Application is recognized by Google. The Access Request page displays this caution: "Registered, not secure. This website is registered with Google to make authorization requests, but has not been configured to send requests securely. We recommend you continue if you trust this destination."
- Registered with enhanced security: Registered applications with a security certificate on file can use secure tokens. The Access Request page displays this message: "Registered, secure. This website is registered with Google to make authorization requests."
As we are going to be using the first method of Unregistered the user will getting some simple/basic prompts:
- The first will be asking them to log in and letting them know that "A third party service is requesting permission to access your Google Account"
- Second an Access Request page which lets the user know WHAT we are doing
UK Developers, stand up and be counted
We know there are at least 200 over you because we all saw you are the CFDevCon :o)
Andy Allan is asking, "UK CF developers, where are you?" on his blog, which I've left a little comment on. This also prompted me to post this just to raise awareness! So if you are a developer and don't usually leave a comment, post to a list do so now!
CFDevCon
Wow, I know it was only a mini conference but it packed a punch. I do want to say thanks to Russ and Niklas for the event and making it a great day. I also want to say hi to everyone I met and took the time to chat, too many mention (and remember) :o) oooo that tequilla can't of been good for me.
CFDevCon: The photos have started
While I remember if you were at the CFDevCon yesterday and was taking any photos stick them on Flickr under the tag cfdevcon2006.
It looks like Mark (I trip when I'm drunk) Drew has already started the madness.
n.b. Watch my Flickr roll below for my photos
