Did google provide any Api or SDK for this?
The API has now been announced at: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-started-on-google-api.html and the official homepage is: http://developers.google.com/+/
As of 29/07/2011, Google has not provided an SDK yet.
The only thing you can do for now is add a 'plus' button like the 'like' button from facebook in your webpages using javascript - look here.
EDIT:
As #ade said, the API has now been announced. so my answer is no loner relevant.
We definitely plan to involve developers and publishers in the Google+ project, but we don’t have specific details to share just yet. Please stay tuned and sign up to receive more information about Google+ developer opportunities. https://services.google.com/fb/forms/plusdevelopers/
You can only read posts using the newly announced Google plus API but you cannot share or access different circles.
More functionality is yet to be added to the Google plus API.
In order to effectively use the new Google plus API you need to authenticate the new user, so that you can serve large number of people or else you will run out of the API calls which are restricted to 1000 per day.

Does Blizzard have an API that will make it possible to pull data from? I really like stats and that I was able to look at my detailed stats for each hero on the career page like masteroverwatch.com. I am creating an Android app which will allow users to input their username, console, region, hero and comp/quickplay, then with the API, this would retrieve all the information for them.
You should take a look at this link https://api.lootbox.eu/documentation
it's on Reddit you should consider reading all comment in this topic https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4j5mmf/overwatch_api/
There is an unofficial API here. There is no official API as per this post. I only had to google "overwatch API", went into the official forum, and boom! Please keep this workflow in mind for your next question.
I'm developing an Android app where users must be able to authenticate and then make calls to the YouTube Data API.
I have no problems authenticating the users with their main account, using Google Sign-In everything is easy and user friendly, both for me and the users.
The problem is that some Google services (eg Google+ and YouTube) allow a single Google account to have multiple related accounts (linked accounts) (eg multiple Google+ pages or multiple YouTube channels).
Unfortunately seems that Google Sign-In doesn't consider this use case. Every user is forced to log into their main account.
In my scenario this is a serious problem. It means that some users won't be able to log into their secondary YouTube channels.
The only solution I have so far is to use the web-based authentication process. But this is obviously worst in terms of user experience and also means that I must handle everything by myself, with a WebView-based solution.
I've already built a small library that does everything, but Google recommends to use the provided Client libraries for a lot of good reasons. The problem is that all their client libraries have the same problem in Android. (The Google API Client Library for Java relies on the AccountManager for Android, therefore has the same problem of Google Sign-In)
Does anyone know if I'm missing something? is there a native way to authenticate the user secondary accounts? or am I forced to use the web-based authentication?
The same problem was addressed in a 3 years old YouTube blog post, is it possible that there's no solution yet?
Apparently at the moment there is no other way to solve this problem.
Here is the link to the library I'm building, in case someone else will have the same issue. https://github.com/PierfrancescoSoffritti/GoogleWebOAuth
Hopefully Google will solve the issue in the future.
Google Sign-in has similar limitations on iOS, but there's an alternative library,
Google's GTMAppAuth, that can be used instead. AppAuth looks like the parallel library for Android – would that satisfy this use case?
This SO question has some more iOS-specific info.
In the google i/o 2014 there was a vast introduction of new Google play services APIs. I learned that there is an API called address by which users don't have to put their address manually and this API will take all the information dynamically from his/her gmail account.
In my project I just want to set the address in a TextView but I didn't find any single tutorial on it over the internet. I have set the google play service library as a library project in my project but I cant do further on this occasion, any help?
You can refer this post from Android Developer blogspot to get more details
http://android-developers.blogspot.fr/2014/03/google-play-services-43.html
I searched lot for the same you want, there is no details available except the package details and this blog post,
In the post they have mentioned
That’s it for this time. Now go to work and incorporate these new features to make your apps even better!
And stay tuned for future updates.
I think they will come up with the tutorial and documentation in near future
Update: I got a hint from the the Google Opensource wallet sample,
You can get the the idea when you look at this file thoroughly
https://github.com/googlewallet/instantbuy-android/blob/f3ed08dfc13d843fe15c397c72df440ba32309e8/src/com/google/android/gms/samples/wallet/PromoAddressLookupFragment.java
I created a sample app based on this file and succeeded.
Possible duplicate: Is there already a Google+ API?
I know there is a new Google+ API came out recently: http://developers.google.com/+/
However, it is limited to writing moments, sharing, +1 only.
I want be able to view feeds/pictures like Facebook/Twitter.
Is it not available? Or am I not looking at the right place?
Currently the Google+ History API only supports writing moments. The history API is still in developer preview, which means it is not yet final and subject to changes.
If you follow the Google+ Developers page, you'll hear about any updates as soon as they are released. You can also sign up for the platform preview group to test upcoming changes and hear about updates.
What is a 'moment'? G+ stores pictures on Picasa, so you could use the Picasa API to get the pictures. A 'full' API is not available, AFAIK.
To read from the Google+ API you need to use the REST endpoint. It is documented here:
https://developers.google.com/+/api/
There is an example of using the REST api from within Android here:
https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/
The example writes a moment using the REST api, but it should be straight forward to use it to read from the public data api instead.
Does anyone know if Amazon has an open API for their Android AppStore?
Full disclosure: My team builds the Amazon Appstore SDK. Even though I work for A2Z, any opinions stated are my own, not my employer's.
As of the time of this answer, Amazon has a private beta for the In-App Purchase API. If you want access to the API, please fill out the form at:
http://developer.amazon.com/
You have to create an account to access the request form.
The current offerings for Developers that want to integrate Amazon into Applications can be found here. I have not seen a API for the Android App, or any other mobile App for that matter. Which would lead me to believe that they dont provide an API for that. I would suggest that you use the Web Service API, that may be able to work for you depending on what you are trying to do.
