Offer APIs for managing communities (create, edit, delete) and community membership #519

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Goal:

We'd like to be able to create, modify and delete communities through the API

Reason:

We have a number of educational organisations as customers of our software 
platform. We could integrate the learning experience of the classroom with an 
online community by creating a community within a single master account and 
sending out invitations to each student. We need an API to create several 
thousand of these communities each year, one per class.

We'd also like a delete API so that we can remove the community once the class 
has completed.

it would be great too managing existent communities. 
Using the API for manage all kind of activities in a community like: Adding and 
deleting users, create communities circles (for educational reasons would be 
nice grouping different types of users), adding users to these circles, 
creating community's events.
Also for educational reasons, would be very nice recording hangouts for pricate 
communities.

So, teachers could have a website where they could create courses on it. The 
course creationg could create a community on google plus. People could sign-up 
to some course with google account, be automaticly added to the community in a 
specific circle (language learning's courses could have circles for levels).

Note that this issue specifically relates to creating communities and managing 
communities, including adding and removing people from communities. If you are 
interested in API access to content posted to communities, please see the

Apart from the use case already mentioned in this article: a community API 
could also be a great way to streamline alpha- and beta-testing of Android 
apps, as described on 
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/3131213?hl=en. 
Imagine an app with 100-200 testers, like mine, and having to manage that test 
by hand.

Hello,
My company is also looking into ways to automate Communities creation through 
API. Can we expect the API to be released at some point in the near future?
Thanks

Here are the reasons we would like such an API.  All with the ultimate goal of 
streamlining the Android playstore beta.

1) Dynamic creation of community by application owner
2) Invite users to said community by application owner
3) Accept invite from user without interaction (outside of giving permission to 
access community api)

We need this API! When developing apps for Googel Apps for Work and Drive for 
Work customers that leverage G+. We can do so much if you just give us the 
possibility to post to restricted and open communities using G+ Domains API. 
Thank you.

Also an Ingress community admin, and would love to see this feature.  We've all 
but stopped using G+ in favor of chats but would like to use it again.  
However, with the explosive growth in our community and few willing to do 
administrative tasks, we really need this API functionality in place.   Mainly 
we need the ability to add/invite a user to a community after they've signed up 
on our website.

Due to the tasks taking too much overhead, we are loosing admins.

members from a community :)

Can't believe that this hasn't been solved yet?!?! Using Google+ as a forum and 
in connection with Google Apps and its admin console would be very useful. Now 
we have to manually set up certain groups/communites for all our different 
groups. 

For all our use cases we're discussing, having appr 400 teachers and 7,000 
students, we'd be managing somewhere around 3,000 to 5,000 groups/communites. 
It can't be done manually and automation must be enabled here if we are to use 
Google+ for discussions and forum.

It is probably possible to use something like phantom.js to automate community 
creation, but it would be much more work than using official APIs.

We are using Google+ Communites for our Google Apps projects. All Early 
Adopters and then all users join to a G+ community for hints, tipps and tricks 
and questions for Google Apps. Right now we have to invite all them and they 
have to add it, which is not really user friendly. 

Also the REST APIs would allow us to automatically sync users to communities, 
if they are member of Google Apps or Active Directory Groups.
