Main Google Data API FAQ
The questions below are specifically targeted for the Google Sites Data API. There are, however, many questions that are applicable to all of the Google Data APIs. Visit the
Google Data APIs FAQ if you do not find the question you are looking for below.
What are the available client libraries supported by Google?
Java, .NET, PHP,
Python and Objective-C client libraries are officially supported by Google.
Using these libraries, you can construct Google Data requests, send them to a service, and process server responses.
Where can I find a Developer Guide in each language?
Normally a sitemap refers to a sitemap.xml file used to help search engines index a website. In Google Sites, a
'sitemap' refers the tree presentation in (More Actions > Manage Site > Pages). While the API does not provide a direct method of retrieving
this page hierarchy, the sitemap can be inferred from examining the parent links in each content entry.
Each content entry is a leaf or node of the sitemap tree.
Why don't I have access to the revisions/activity feed?
You must be a collaborator, owner, or admin of a Site to view its revision and activity feeds.

Key actions include listing sites via the site feed, creating new sites, copying sites, and modifying sharing permissions through the ACL feed. Retrieving the sitemap involves examining parent links in content entries. Deleting sites is not supported through the API. Access to revisions/activity feeds requires collaborator, owner, or admin status. Bug reports and feature requests can be submitted through their issue tracker.\n"]]
