Web API Mashups in a Python Application

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Shows a working App Engine-style Python web app that uses httplib2 and google-api-python-client to perform OAuth2 (code -> access token + refresh token), decorate handlers to get authorized HTTP, and call Google Drive and URL Shortener APIs with combined scopes. Demo shortens a URL, grabs the page title with BeautifulSoup, posts an activity to the social API, and redirects to the created item. Advises not to embed client secrets in distributed source and to spawn a localhost redirect for native clients.
