Google Introduces Command-Line Tool For Linux

Posted by timothy on from the google-reaches-the-beginning dept.

Lomegor writes "'Ever wanted to upload a folder full of photos to Picasa from a command prompt?' Google introduced today a new project, Google CL, that lets you do that and much more. It's a new command line tool for Linux that acts as an interface with Google services; you can upload videos to YouTube or maybe post a new blog post in Blogger in just one line."

    If you're not familiar with google's api it's a pretty large time investment. Partially because of the size, but also because they're often not the most up to date. A lot of the doc api for example doesn't work with docs created under the system that's been up for a few months now. But that fact isn't listed anywhere in their documentation, or even very easy to find by searching because the error message is so generic and uninformative.

    ... it'd be equally cool if they had a really open API and you could just use a script with curl to upload.
