Hi, Unlike many here, I am relatively new to Google APIs, so I beg your patience. I am currently tasked with implementing a mapping system which will use Fusion Tables. I have successfully uploaded tables using the Google UI, and written my code to display the map and the FusionTables layer. However, I now need to be able to update the tables programmatically rather than through the Google UI. Clearly this means being able to get my application to log in and upload the data, but I am currently not having any success with the login process. I am sending a POST request to the Google accounts service using VB as follows (stripped down to its basics)... Dim webRequest As WebRequest = webRequest.Create(" https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin") webRequest.Method = "POST" webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Dim requestStream As Stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream() Dim streamWriter As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(requestStream) streamWriter.Write(Server.UrlEncode(" accountType=GOOGLE&Email=<MyEmail>&Passwd=<MyPassword>&service=fusiontables&source=<MyApplicationName> ")) streamWriter.Flush() streamWriter.Close() requestStream.Close() ' Get the response from the remote server... Dim webResponse As WebResponse = webRequest.GetResponse() ....... Where <MyEmal> is my Google account email address, <MyPassword> is my Google account password, and <MyApplicationName> is something I made up to represent the application. The GetResponse() is throwing a 403 "Forbidden" *exception* whether I include the content or not. I did expect from the documentation that I should get a response with an error message and a "url giving more information". My questions are... 1) Am I correct in thinking that I should be authenticating using my Google account credentials, or are special credentials required for using Fusion Tables? 2) If special credentials are required, how do I go about obtaining these? 3) If sepecial credentials are not required, can anyone point out any problems with the above code? I have redirected the url to one of our own sites and the posted content certainly looks exactly as it should! Many thanks in advance, David.
