GData for my own API?
- by Malax
Hi StackOverflow!
Im currently planning to build an API for my service. I want to use GData because it fits the application scheme and there are libraries for many programming languages available. The first question that rose: Am I allowed to do that? I mean, Google put lots of work into the GData specification and have some sort of copyright. Does anyone know anything about this issue or did that before?
You could extend the case if you want to specifically mimic an API which uses GData like the YouTube API to have my API 100% compliant. This is not my case, but I was wondering about that too. :-)
Thank you for any input,
Malax
Edit:
Note that i want to use it for my own service. So, I am implementing an API using the GData protocol, not using one of the Google APIs.
