 Fatal Error in Adsense example in google-api-php-client

"Raúl Mellado" <raulmellado@gmail.com> Feb 28 10:52PM -0800  

Hi everybody (specially to Silvano who kindly answers all of our
questions),
 
I am trying to develop a Wordpress plugin (in PHP) that will show, in
the backend, earnings for a current blog (filtering per custom channels)
using Management API. I am very new to Google Apis and OAuth, so I am a bit
lost :-)
 
The first thing I did was to download the package api-php-client
(current version 0.4.9) from
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/downloads/list.
 
I first tried the tasks example and made it work, creating a project in
Google APIs section, well done for me! :-)
 
Now I tried the Adsense example; I created a new project in the Google
APIs, updated the example php code with my data (first difference I noticed
was that there is this additional
code: $this->apiClient->setDeveloperKey('YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY_HERE');, could
you add some light on where I can get my developer key?).
 
When I upload the code to my server and
load /examples/adsense/index.php, I get the message:
 
*Fatal error*: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object in *
/public_html/gapis/examples/adsense/AdSenseAuth.php* on line *131*
 
Now I check this problem, and it comes from here:
 
public function authenticate($user) {
$this->user = $user;
$dbh = new PDO('sqlite:examples.sqlite');
var_dump($dbh); //added by me
 
For some reason, $dbh object is empty (added the var_dump myself to
test).
 
Do you have any idea about what could be happening here?
 
 
And my second question here (well, this is for later on, when I can make
the example code work), is this: as I would like each user to install this
wp plugin in their own self-hosted WordPress installation, I have seen that
I need to enter a redirect uri/JavaScript origin. Does this mean each user
needs to add a new url for each blog they have? Or is there a better way to
do this, to make it domain independent and make it easier for the user to
install? (and last question for now -promised!- could I use the "offline"
mode to gather data in a passive mode while the user is not logged in?).
 
Thanks for your patience answering my newbie questions!
 
 
Raul

Hello Raul,
 
thanks :D
 
You can find the DeveloperKey in the Google API Console, in the tab
'API Access':
https://code.google.com/apis/console/
 
At the end of the API Access page there is a box named Simple API
Access, API key is what you are looking for.
The DeveloperKey is meant to be used for request that need to be
signed but don't need authorization; for the AdSense Management API,
every request needs to be authorized, so the Key is not enough to send
requests.
 
About the error, you need to create the database 'example.sqlite',
looks like you didn't, the docs of the class 'AdSenseAuth' explain
what you need to do:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/browse/trunk/examples/adsense/AdSenseAuth.php#29
 
The answer for the redirect URI question is yes, every user will have
to create a project in the Google API Console, create a client id for
web application, set their redirect URI and Javascript Origins.
 
Last reply: yes, the offline access is meant exactly for that use
case. If you use the Google API PHP Client Library, is enabled by
default:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/browse/trunk/src/auth/apiOAuth2.php#36
 
Cheers,
Silvano
