Question

I tried out this python example code and received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\rey\Documents\ProjectFolder\GoogleCharts\fusion.py", line 187, in <module>
    api_test.main()

  File "C:\Users\rey\Documents\ProjectFolder\GoogleCharts\fusion.py", line 55, in main
    serv_resp = urllib2.urlopen(serv_req)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 406, in open
    response = meth(req, response)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 519, in http_response
    'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 444, in error
    return self._call_chain(*args)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 378, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 527, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)

HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

I followed the instructions in the commented out section in the script to setup my authentication and think I have done the setup correctly.

To create the client ID, I have these settings:

Application type: Installed application

Installed application type: Other

When I run the script, the program prompts me for URL parameter. What am I supposed to enter for that? And where can I find more examples? The example that O have linked is the only up to date python example I’ve found so far.

Thanks!

Alright, when prompt for the URL parameter, literally use the parameter of the URL after “code=”. This is somewhat disappointing though, since I am looking for a way to automatically authenticate and create a fusion table from a local file that has all the info. Any suggestion?
