I am really new to this website. I hope someone could help me out with an issue that I that am facing now.

I needed to create a mobile app in android which changes gmail signature. I did a bit of googling and end up with this https://developers.google.com/google-apps/email-settings/

I used the ClientLogin authentication mode (https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin) and got the authorization token. But am unable to proceed further. What I wanted is simply an html code as my gmail signature. I would appreciate if anyone could help me out with some sample code or document (any authorization mode will do, I don’t really want to stick on with ClientLogin, oAuth will do it for me).

Thanks in advance.

    Old(ish) post I know – but had the same issue and solved it this way:

    1. Grab yourself a REST client – look at the “Advanced REST Client” by Paweł Psztyć available on the Google Chrome web-store. Once you have opened the app:

    To obtain a new token, follow these steps:

    • URL: https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin (deprecated now, but still working)
    • Metod: POST
    • Headers: Raw Input –
      Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    • Body: Form – ad a row for each name and value pair
      – Email / Google email address
      – Passwd / user above’s password
      – accountType / HOSTED (if hosted)
      – service / apps

    Hit send and you will receive the SID, LSID and Auth. Grab the Auth only and change the params in your REST client:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:apps="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006">
    <apps:property name="signature" value="Liz Jones - (+1) 619-555-5555
    Accounts Management, A&amp;Z LTD." />
    </atom:entry>

    (info as per here: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/email-settings/#manage_signature_settings)

    Hope it helped!
