Google has recently added one more feature of API to its ever-growing steady of developer tools. The "Google Documents List Data API" could as well be used to upload new documents or to grasp a list of accessible documents from your Google Documents List. The Documents List Data API builds on the GData structure, but provides some more hooks into the Google Docs and Spreadsheets tools. Other improvements consist of full-text search capabilities for grasping particular documents.

There's as well an individual Spreadsheets API that provides some remarkably fine-grained options - right down to separate spreadsheet cells. Google offers some special code samples for the fresh API in both Java and Python. The visible lack of PHP - perhaps the most in style web-programming language - looks to point to that Google believes of this API as more of a desktop client tool, though at this point the API is too naive to build anything actually cool like a Microsoft Word or OpenOffice plug-in.
