Hi Aswath, Both gdata-java-client and google-api-java-client explicitly support being used in the Google App Engine environment, so you should be OK there.
Notice that the GAE Java API docs say that the default 'deadline' for a UrlFetch is just 5 seconds. The deadline for a task-queue request *can be* up to 10 minutes, but you have to set it. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/urlfetch/overview.html#Requests Voting for http://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2516may one day enhance the stability and responsiveness of the spreadsheet API, but until such a time as it 'graduates' to a production service, it would be unwise to rely on the spreadsheet API for any kind of production use. The google-api-java-client is an API framework, and not an API to any particular Google service. Unless you're up for some coding where everyone else before you also had to roll their own, I'd stick to the gdata-java-client API so long as it keeps working for you. That said, there are certainly some nice things about the google-api-java-client. cheers, David.
