這幾天使用Google base發佈了一些東西,感受用起來很方便並且頗有用,關於這方面的博客如今基本尚未,這裏就給你們介紹一下Gbase的原理與使用。
Gbase是一個幫助你發表虛擬類型的任何信息的免費服務,用戶把信息發佈到Gbase上,而後能夠在google網站上搜索。這個服務就頗有用,咱們知道google 的搜索能力很強大,若是咱們把咱們的產品或者服務發佈到Gbase上,就有可能讓全世界的人看到咱們發佈的信息。
發佈一個項目很簡單,前提是必須得有一個google賬戶,有帳戶的用戶步驟以下:
1.進入google base網站首頁:http://www.google.com/base/
2.點擊「One at a time」,就進入了添加item頁面,或者直接登陸進去本身的Gbase首頁,點擊左下角「Add a item」按鈕就能夠添加item。
3.填完信息後,點擊「Publish」便可。
這裏添加的信息包括item類別(你能夠選擇已有的類別,或者自定義一個類別),而後填寫可能包含的數量、金額和描述信息等等。上述方法是一次添加一個item的方式,若是你想批量添加,能夠添加一個本地的xml文件,該文件符合google base規定的格式。
下面介紹如何使用Google base API編寫Gbase應用,主要是給程序開發等編程人員提供參考。
Data item:在Google base 中描述一個單獨的entry,他包含一組屬性。
Attribute:描述內容的name/pair對,如
<g:label>kung pao chicken</g:label>
一個entry的信息以下所示:

每個item都有一個URL,或者說一個惟一的ID,用於標識這個item或者說entry,比我添加的一條記錄的URL以下所示:
http://base.google.com/base/feeds/items/2139682888944988653
item ID是
2139682888944988653。
這個URL通常是程序代碼中使用的,item本身生成的URL是http://base.google.com/base/a/6380400/D2139682888944988653,他們的實質都是同樣的。
每個Googel base API操做跟HTTP方法相同,你可使用HTTP GET、POST、PUT和DELETE方法來操做。
一個查詢的例子以下所示:
發送的HTTP請求是:
GET /base/feeds/snippets?bq=digital+camera
Content-Type: application/atom+xml
Authorization: AuthSub token=""
X-Google-Key: key=ABQIAAAA7VerLsOcLuBYXR7vZI2NjhTRERdeAiwZ9EeJWta3L_JZVS0bOBRIFbhTrQjhHE52fqjZvfabYYyn6A
因爲響應信息比較多,這裏就不顯示了。
使用API添加item的代碼以下所示。

若是email和密碼正確,驗證經過,則在你的email賬號下的Gbase下添加了一條item,這個item須要大概1天的時間可以經過google搜索。
