I wanted to read my emails from Gmail using an atom feed. Gmail supports it, for the entire procedure you are welcomed to read http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2.html however one thing that is missing from the explanation is the final part, i.e. how do I fetch using the access code that I just received.
At the beginning I tried to append ?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN to my oauth address (https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom in our case), it didn’t work, I always got 401 access denied.
Guess what, Gmail only supports the Authorization: Bearer <access_token> header so your request should be something like
GET /m8/feeds/contacts/default/full HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
Hope it will save you some frustration.
Developing for AGG (Android, Grails & Groovy) 
how can you pass “GET /m8/feeds/contacts/default/full HTTP/1.1
” by the header? can you give me a sample code of the call?? thanks
Did something like that
Map headers = new HashMap();
headers.put(“Authorization”, format(“Bearer %s”, “token”));
HttpConnector localUrl;
localUrl.addRequestProperty(“Authorization”, String.format(“Bearer %s”, “token”));

hi.. In my project i am using atom feed for read mails in Yahoo , can you give a sample code for that..Thank you..
Hi Suresh,
Try this…
HttpURLConnection localUrl;
…
localUrl.setDoOutput(false);
BufferedReader rd = null;
try {
// Get the response
rd = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(localUrl.getInputStream()));
String line;
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
}
returnValue = builder.toString();
} finally {
if (rd != null) {
rd.close();
}
}
Even though we don’t see things thhe same way, thanks
