NAMEVUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0 - Perl module that implements version 2.0 of the Google Apps for Your Domain Provisioning APISYNOPSISuse VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI; my $google = new VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI($domain, $admin, $passwd, '2.0'); $google->CreateUser($userName, $givenName, $familyName, $password, $quotaMB); my $user = $google->RetrieveUser($userName); REQUIREMENTSVUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI requires the following modules to be installed:
DESCRIPTIONVUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI provides a simple interface to the Google Apps for Your Domain Provisioning API. It uses the "LWP::UserAgent" module for the HTTP transport, and the "HTTP::Request" module for the HTTP request and response.ExamplesAdding a user:use VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI; my $google = VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI->new('yourdomain.com', 'admin', 'your password', '2.0'); my $entry = $google->CreateUser('joeb', 'Joe', 'Blow', 'joespassword'); if (defined $entry) { print $entry->User, " created\n"; } else { die "Add failed: ".$google->{result}{reason}; } Updating a user: my $new_entry = VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry->new(); $new_entry->Password('heresmynewpassword'); $new_entry->GivenName('Joseph'); my $entry = $google->UpdateUser('joeb', $new_entry); Delete a user: my $rc = $google->DeleteUser('joeb'); if (not $rc) { die "Can't delete user: ".$google->{result}{reason}; } CONSTRUCTORnew ($comain, $admin, $adminpasswd)This is the constructor for a new VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI object. $domain is the domain name registered with Google Apps For Your Domain, $admin is an account in the above domain that has the right to manage that domain, and $adminpassword is the password for that account. Note that the constructor will NOT attempt to perform the 'ClientLogin' call to the Google Provisioning API (see below). Authentication happens automatically when the first API call is performed. The token will be remembered for the duration of the object, and will be automatically refreshed as needed. If you want to verify that you can get a valid token before performing any operations, follow the constructor with a call to IsAuthenticated() as such: print "Authentication OK\n" unless not $google->IsAuthenticated(); METHODSBelow are all the methods available on the object. For the Google API specific methods, see the Google API documentation for more details.When a request is properly handed by Google's API engine, the results of the action are returned as the content of the request. If the request fails (as determined by the "HTTP::Request" method is_success()), it could mean a couple of things. If it's a failure within the Google API, the content will contain an XML encoded error message. All other HTTP errors are still possible. Checking AuthenticationIsAuthenticated()will check if the object has been able to authenticate
with Google's api engine, and get an authentication ticket. Returns 1 if
successful, 0 on failure. To see why it may fail, see the $@ variable, and the
$google->{results}->{reason} hash, and parse the
returned page (see the 'content' and 'header' variables.)
Relogin() Performs a login if required. Relogin() will be
called but the API methods and IsAuthenticated(). You should not need
to call this directly.
User MethodsThese are the acutual API calls. These calls match up with the client library methods described for the .Net and Java libraries.CreateUser($userName, $givenName, $familyName, $password, $quota) Creates a user in your Google Apps domain. The first four
arguments are required. The $quota argument is
optional and may not do anything unless your agreement with Google allows you
to change quotas.
CreateUser() returns a "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" object if the request was successful and "undef" otherwise. RetrieveUser($userName) Get the passed user from Google. Returns a
"VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry"
object.
RetrieveAllUsers() Returns a list of all users in your domain. The entries
are
"VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry"
objects.
RetrievePageOfUsers($startUser) Google Provisioning API 2.0 supports returning lists of
users 100 at a time. $startUser is optional. When
used, it will be the list will start at that user. Otherwise, it will return
the first 100 users.
RetrievePageOfUsers() returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" objects. UpdateUser($userName, $newUserEntry) $userName is the mandatory name
of the user account. $newUserEntry is a
"VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry"
object with the changes to the account. You only need to set the elements of
$newUserEntry that are being changed. Note:
According to the Google API docs, you should not set the password unless you
are actually changing the password.
SuspendUser($userName) $userName is the name of the user
that you want to suspend.
Returns a "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" object if successful. RestoreUser($userName) Unsuspend the user's account.
$userName is required.
Returns a "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry" object if successful. DeleteUser($userName) $userName is the required user
name to delete.
Returns '1' on success. Nickname methods CreateNickname($userName, $nickName) Creates a nickname (or alias) for a user.
$userName is the existing user and
$nickName is the user's new nickname.
Returns a "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::NicknameEntry" object on success. RetrieveNickname($nickName) Returns a
"VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::NicknameEntry"
if the $nickName exists.
RetrieveNicknames($userName) Get all nicknames for $userName.
Returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::NicknameEntry" objects. RetrieveAllNicknames() Get all of the nick names for your domain.
Returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::NicknameEntry" objects. RetrievePageOfNicknames($startNick) Get 100 of the nick names for your domain. If
$startNick is defined, the list will start with that

$recipient is limited to users at your domain.
Returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::EmailListEntry" objects. RetrieveAllEmailLists() Get a list of all email lists for your domain.
Returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::EmailListEntry" objects. RetrievePageOfEmailLists($startList) Get a single page (100 lists) of email lists.

$startRecpt is not defined.
Returns a list of "VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::EmailListRecipientEntry" objects. RemoveRecipientFromEmailList($recipient, $emailList) Remove $recipient from the given
email list ($emailList).
Returns 1 in success. ACCESSING RESULTING DATAMost API calls return an object so that you don't have to screw around with the XML data. The parsed XML (by XML::Simple) is available in "$google-"{result}>.EXPORTNone by default.SEE ALSOThe perldocs for VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::UserEntry; VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::NicknameEntry; VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::EmailListEntry; and VUser::Google::ProvisioningAPI::V2_0::EmailListRecipientEntry.The official Google documentation can be found at http://code.google.com/apis/apps-for-your-domain/google_apps_provisioning_api_v2.0_reference.html http://code.google.com/apis/apps/gdata_provisioning_api_v2.0_reference.html For support, see the Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/apps-for-your-domain-apis For additional support specific to this modules, email me at johan at reinalda dot net.
