Hi Steven Right now we don't have an official way to retrieve document content through the API. There are various URIs as you have noticed that allow you to get at the HTML content but none of them are officially supported at this point. Unfortunately we don't have a cleaner way to get Presentation content right now.
We do have a feature request outstanding that you may want to star in order to vote for and be notified of changes to this feature: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=70 Thanks - Jochen On Sep 2, 6:10 am, Steve Breen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been using ClientLogin authentication (service: 'writely') to > obtain the document list feed via the Google Doc List APIs.
