Google task API update

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

 

Finally Google released Google Task API in beta.

The OAuth 2.0 is used for authentication.  The user has to authroize the app to access their Google Task data.  It is still in beta testing.  

The annoying part is that it limits 5,000 API call usages for third party app.  If the daily usage is reached, any subsquent API call will be rejected for now.  Hopefully, Google would lift API usage soon. 

We are switching home-grown Google Task sync in iGTask for iCal to API code now.

    iGTask- Google Task sync with custom domain update

    Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

    First of all, please allow me to give special thank you to Caston Thomas, Christopher  Oconnor and Tom Wymore, who reported the issue to us and have helped us to work through the fixes.   We appreciate it.

    In the new update of iGTask, Google iCal Task sync software , it has the following fixes:

    • Google account custom domain support – supports Google account custom domain
    • Deleting calendar event issue when deleting all the task list from Google account
    • Diagnosis tool to export error log when it occurs
    • Threading concurrency enhancement

    Here is how to set Google account custom domain:

    Launch iGTask, click on "Tools" on the menu on the top left corner, click on "Custom domain setting", please mark the check box of "custom domain" if you are using Google account custom domain, then in the input field below to set your custom domain.  For example, your domain is : www.yourdomain.com, please put in "yourdomain.com" without "www".

    When logging into your Google account, in the "username" field, please put in your user name, the custom domain should be automatically populated if you have set it in "custom domain setting".  For example, here is your Google account with customer domain: johndoe@yourdomain.com, in the "username" field, you just put in "johndoe".  "@yourdomain.com" should be automatically populated if you have set in in "custom domain setting".

    There are also two useful tools added in this update:

    • "Clear google cookies" – there might be an issue to access your google account with different cookies, so we add this tool to clear out those cookies and start fresh to avoid unnecessary error
    • "Export log" – most of issues should be resolved by "clear google cookies", if still an issue, please click on "Tools" —- "Export Log" to attach it to our tech support for further help.

    Task sync between iCal and Google task

    Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

    Google doesn't provide any API for Google task data.  So far, we have developed an unique application to allow the users to synchronize the task data between iCal and Google task online.

    For more detail, check it out: iGTask For iCal, Google task sync with iCal

    It supports multiple sync option settings: two-way, sync from iCal to Google task, or sync from Google task to iCal.  It is a handy utility Mac application for the people who love GTD.  The task tool is simple, yet practical to manage the work and to-do list.

    We are waiting the approval for iGTask For iPhone from Apple now.  Hopefully it is going to be approved soon.
