This project shows you how to implement a simple
piece of Glassware that demos the major functionality of the Google Mirror API.
To see a fully-working demo of the quick start project, go to
https://glass-python-starter-demo.appspot.com.
Otherwise, read on to see how to deploy your own version.

Prerequisites
Ensure your system meets the following prerequisites for the quick start project:
Creating a Google APIs Console project
Next, enable access to the Google Mirror API:
- Go to the Google APIs console and create a new API project.
- Click Services and enable the Google Mirror API for your new project.
- Click API Access and create an OAuth 2.0 client ID for a web application.
- Specify the product name and icon for your Glassware. These fields appear on the OAuth grant
screen presented to your users.
- Select Web application and specify any value for the hostname, such as
localhost
- Click Edit settings... for the client ID to specify redirect URIs. Specify the callback URLs
for your local development web server, for example
http://localhost:8080/oauth2callback, and
for your deployed web server, for example https://example.com/oauth2callback.
- Make note of the client ID and secret from the Google APIs Console. You'll need
it to configure the quick start project.
Configure the Quick Start project to use your API client information by entering your client ID and
secret into src/main/resources/oauth.properties:
# Replace these with values for your project from the Google API Console:
# https://developers.google.com/console
client_id=3141592653589793238462643383279
client_secret=ITS_A_SECRET_TO_EVERYBODY
