8 June 2015: GoogleCL is currently broken due to the OAuth1 turndown, and likely to remain so. Thanks for your support over the years, and apologies for the lack of prior notice.
GoogleCL brings Google services to the command line.
We currently support the following Google services:
-
Blogger
-
Calendar
- Contacts
- Docs
- Finance
- Picasa
- Youtube
Check out the Manual and ExampleScripts for many more examples of what you can do, or the Install page for simple install instructions.
3/31/11: I just realized I should've waited for April 1st, and released version 1.0. Missed opportunities. The good news is, 0.9.13 contains some much needed improvements on 0.9.12, namely:
- Appropriate intermediate directories are created for authentication tokens.b
- Deletion of recurring Calendar events actually deletes events, rather than crashing.
- File extensions for Picasa do not have to be lowercase.
1/21/11: Keeping with the theme of inappropriate version numbers, 0.9.12 is finally out! Are the following features worth the wait?
- Google Finance support (thanks, bartosh!)
- Expanded usage of --date
- --access option for privacy settings
- Reading options and arguments from stdin
If not, you should read the changelog for the rest of the updates. And if the answer is still no... then I apologize. You may have noticed that development has slowed drastically. Unfortunately, GoogleCL is now a 100% free-time project for everyone involved. We're still working on it, though, so keep those bug reports and feature requests coming!
10/10/10: .deb file is up, sorry for the delay. The Windows machine I used to make the executable was apparently 64-bit, and so it play nice on 32-bit systems. I've marked it as such in the downloads page, and a 32-bit version will be up tomorrow with any luck. Thanks for your patience!
10/8/10: 0.9.11 makes its appearance. Don't miss our wonderful new features:
- Much better unicode support.
- More natural specification of command line arguments.
And Windows users, rejoice: this version reintroduces the .zip file containing an executable. A .deb file should be forthcoming this weekend. In that vein, maybe someday soon I'll get GoogleCL properly situated into the various software repositories.
9/3/10: 0.9.10 is out! Projecting off Gmail and the current rate of releases, we'll be out of "beta" with 0.9.65 or so. Be sure to check out
- v2/v3 support for Docs and Contacts. Manipulate arbitrary uploads, list many more details of your contacts.
- Support for non-latin alphabets
- Adheres to XDG base directory specification
This release may be more unstable than past ones. Be sure to (responsibly) flood the issue tracker with any oddities you encounter.
7/28/10: Uploaded 0.9.9 tar and deb. Windows exe will be up once the Windows machine is found and unpacked.
Highlights for this release include
- Download and edit of new-version Google Docs
- Video upload and download for Picasa
- --owner option, allowing use of Picasa collaborative albums, listing other user's YouTube uploads, etc.
- Reminders for added calendar events
6/30/10: Uploaded 0.9.8 tar, deb, and zip with Windows exe. In the most inappropriately numbered version release to date, this release includes:
- Proper login procedure for Apps users
- setuptools support
- Uploading directory trees to Docs
- Multiple-calendar tasks
and a whole lot of other stuff. Huge, huge thanks to our growing list of contributors!
6/20/10: Uploaded 0.9.7 .tar.gz and .deb packages. Keeping fingers crossed for inclusion into debian and then ubuntu. 0.9.7 adds command history to interactive mode, changes the --date semantics for calendar, and adds list-groups, add-groups and delete-groups features to contacts. Plus some miscellaneous bugfixes. Thanks in particular to ericvw and aripollak who contributed patches!
6/19/10: Wow! What an announcement! Thanks to everyone who's been checking out GoogleCL, and special thanks for the dozens upon dozens of new issues in the tracker.
Older You can now grab a Debian/Ubuntu/etc. package or gzipped tar archive of GoogleCL! Check the Downloads tab.
