Social Media Command Line, Part 2: Google

In Part 1 of this series, we show you how to use the command line to access your Facebook and Twitter to FBCMD with TTYtter. Today you will learn how to manage Google services from the command line

Note . We have already written a beginner’s guide to using googlecl, and this article is an add-on to stuff it with examples of more detailed data .

Google offers a variety of services, some of which are available from your terminal with a Python program is likely that your package manager * nix googlecl provides a repository. If not, or if you’re on Windows, you can download here or enter googlecl latest version of the source code as follows (note that Google Docs has been broken in the last. Tar.gz package from the first link, so I highly recommend use the Subversion command in this):

style = # svn checkout http: # 000000; font-weight: / / googlecl.googlecode. com / svn / / googlecl-read-only

googlecl dependencies requires Python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 and GData. To see all the different ways you can install googlecl, visit our official installation. Here’s how to install Subversion from source:

CD / googlecl -read-only sudo python setup.py install

If the default version of Python is not 2. * (You can check with the command python - version ), you must specify the version when you run setup.py. For example, if you are a Python version 2.7, run:

sudo python2.7 setup.py install googlecl Once you install it, you will be able to run the following command:

google blogger [ ] google calendar [ ] google contacts [ ] google docs [ ] google finance [ ] google picasa [ ] google youtube [ ] # # 666666; font-style: your Picasa album list

googlecl

asked to specify the user (usually yourusername@gmail.com, unless you use Google services for different domain names), and then brought me here:

When I press the” Grant access “, I returned to the terminal and press Enter. Googlecl then recorded my Picasa album with their URL:.

of Use
Blogger

First setup your blog. On a Linux system, Mac OS X, or BSD, edit the file "~ / config / googlecl / config." + In Windows 7, change the directory "C:. Googlecl Username" and on Windows XP Home Edition "C: Documents and Settings USERNAME. Googlecl." Scroll to the end of the document, where there is a section entitled [BLOGGER] and add your blog information:
