Google Apps now can be managed with more powerful APIs

Google Apps enterprise customers who have large installations can take advantage of Google’s new powerful APIs. This will make Google Apps fit into their unique businesses processes and technology environments. Recently they have released some of the APIs related to Gmail which we have covered in an earlier post.
Yesterday Google has release some more of the powerful API features:
* API for Google Docs: now capable of updating the actual content of documents, sharing documents, and moving documents into and out of folders programmatically. You can learn more about this API from Google’s website at 
* APIs are now more robust and versatile: Domain administrators can now use OAuth (#) authentication to access GData feeds for users on their domains. This means that admins can do things like integrate with document management systems, enable third-party workflow applications, centralize backup of documents and contacts, and monitor document sharing inside and outside of the company. Using OAuth, administrators can enable this type of functionality for end-users without any end-user involvement. 
# OAuth is an open standard authorization protocol which allows users to grant others access to their data without giving away their login credentials. Premier and Education Edition admins can enable OAuth in the Authentication section of the Advanced Tools tab of the Google Apps administrative control panel.
