Google Mirror API's Quickstart for .NET

This project shows you how to implement a simple piece of Glassware that demos the major functionality of the Google Mirror API.

To see a fully-working demo of the quick start project, go to https://glass-python-starter-demo.appspot.com. Otherwise, read on to see how to deploy your own version.

Prerequisites

• .NET Framework 4.0 or higher.
• ASP .NET MVC 3 web framework or higher.
• A web server - You need a place to host your files.
• To use subscriptions, you also need an Internet accessible hosting environment with a valid SSL certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority.

Note: You can start developing with a localhost instance of your HTTP server, but you must have an Internet accessible host to use the subscription features of the API.

Configuring the project

Enter your client ID, client secret, and redirect URL in Models/Config.cs:

internal static class Config
{
    /// The OAuth2.0 Client ID of your project.
    /// </summary>
    public static readonly string CLIENT_ID = "[[YOUR_CLIENT_ID]]";

    /// <summary>
    /// The OAuth2.0 Client secret of your project.
    /// </summary>
    public static readonly string CLIENT_SECRET = "[[YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET]]";

    /// <summary>
    /// The OAuth2.0 scopes required by your project.
    /// </summary>
    public static readonly string[] SCOPES = new String[]
    {
        "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/glass.timeline",
        "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/glass.location",
        "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"
    };

    /// <summary>
    /// The Redirect URI of your project.
    /// </summary>
    public static readonly string REDIRECT_URI = "[[YOUR_REDIRECT_URI]]";
}
