Command line in Google services

Not everyone likes fine interfaces with large buttons and special controls for entering text or downloading files. Sometimes it's easier and faster to type the desired command in the console.



GoogleCL is a special project that makes it easier to work with Blogger, Picasa Web, YouTube, Google Docs and Google Calendar, thanks to the command line. This is a wrapper for the Google Data API, so you first need to install Python 2.6 (or 2.5) and the Google Data APIs Python Client Library .
')
After installing Python, Google Data APIs Python Client Library, and GoogleCL, you can type in commands that let you upload photos to Picasa Web, upload videos to YouTube, post to Blogger, add events to Google Calendar, find contacts in Gmail, and more. .
And this is especially interesting because, as you know, Chrome OS will have a special development mode in which experienced users will be able to communicate with the system via the command line.

Below are a few typical commands:

google calendar add "Meet Mary tomorrow at 10am"
(adds event to Google Calendar)

google picasa get "Album Title" c: \ files \ picasa \
(download all files from one of your albums)

google picasa create --title "Miami Beach" c: \ files \ photos \ miami \ *. jpg
(upload photos to new album)

google youtube post --title "Summer in Rome" c: \ videos \ rome.avi
(upload video to YouTube)

google docs get --title "Reports. *"
(download files that begin with the word "Reports" in the title)

google docs upload c: \ files \ *. doc
(upload * .doc files from Google Docs folder)

The entire list of available commands can be found through the google --help request or by reading the manual .
