Create and share Google Sites with new Sites Data API features
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Several months ago
we launched
the
Google Sites Data API
. Since then, we've worked hard to respond to your top feature requests: the ability to list a user's sites, create new sites, copy existing sites, and manage sharing permissions. Today, we are very excited to announce the release of the Site and Access Control List feeds that make these new features possible.
The
Site feed
allows your client to list sites and update their properties, such as the title or the theme of the site. Google Apps users can also create new sites. Because creating new sites often involves copying existing ones (perhaps using a
site template
), we've enabled that feature too.
Here's an example of the kinds of applications you can build with those features. Let's say you're a professor at a university and you'd like to create a Google Site for each of the courses you teach. The Site feed makes it possible for you to create a site course template, use the site feed to create several course sites, and personalize them with the
content feed
.
But what if you want to restrict access to your sites to just the students taking those courses? With the
ACL (Access Control List) feed
, you can manage sharing permissions. Everything you can do in the Google Sites admin panel, you can do with the API.
To get the full scoop, review the
documentation
and
change log
. We've loaded the
Java client library
and
Python client library
with the new features, and offer
updated developer guides
for both.

Google Sites: Now with an API!
Thursday, September 24, 2009
Today, we launched a new
Google Data API
for Google Sites. The API supports most of the functionality found in Google Sites, which includes the ability to:
Retrieve, create, modify, and delete pages and content.
Upload/download attachments.
Review the revision history across a site.
Display recent user activity.
To get started, see the full
documentation
,
Java Developer's Guide
, or dive into our
code samples
. We're also open-sourcing an
import/export tool
that uploads or creates a local back-up of an entire Google Site.
Visit us in our new
developer forum
if you have questions!
