add and delete users, email ids to google groups through a php script

[jk4488]

HI i have a requirement, for which i need some advice /

clarification / technique.

The requirement is as follows:

I have a google group account, in which i want to add and delete

users, email ids through a php script. I want to know whether such a

thing is possible legally or not or whether there are techniques to do

such a thing and do they come under hacking attempts. If it comes

under hacking attempt and still it needs to be done then what would be

the procedure, techinique to do it.

Does google or any other mail service provider for e.g., yahoo provide

any api or code to do such a thing. ??? ???

No, there is no API for google groups.

A few different topics on the idea.

 

As for deleteing/managing. I am not sure. I bet you would need curl to maintain the session and the admin account login info etc.

 

I would suggest looking up information on cURL and use that.

s there any such command using which you can change the email

notification setting (whether to send an email to this user or not) of

a user from your group, or perform any other action, after you have

created a connection with the google server authenticating it using a

valid username and password.

 

How should i figure out what privileges do i have after creating a

connection with the server.
