Google API video overview

Posted on November 30, 2008 by Daniel Hudson

The Google Data APIs provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web.

These REST-style APIs are based on the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub), using the standard Atom syndication format to represent data and HTTP to handle communication. The Google Data API protocol also extends AtomPub for processing queries, authentication, batch requests, and providing alternate output formats (JSON, RSS).
