Introduction
This guide provides .NET programming information about how to use the Google Data API to create,
retrieve, update, and delete information for one or more Google Search Appliance devices.
Use the information in this guide to create or learn about coding .NET applications that
programmatically set the administrative functions for the Admin Console of a search appliance. This
document uses C# examples, but you can use any .NET programming language with the .NET Google
Data API client library.
The audience for this guide is .NET programmers who want to programmatically configure a Google
Search Appliance. Before using the Google Search Appliance Administrative API, you need an Admin
Console user name and password for the search appliance to which you direct your commands.
Before using the Google Search Appliance Administrative API, read “Getting Started” on page 5 to
download and configure required software.
Note: This guide uses data source feed to indicate the search appliance’s Feeds API (described in the
Feeds Protocol Developer’s Guide).
