I'm following the documentation at http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/1.0/gdataJava.html,
and am getting the RedirectRequiredException exception, because Google
is redirecting me to a local version of the site (www.google.si).

The code:
> AnalyticsService as = new AnalyticsService("me-myapp-1.0");
> as.setUserCredentials(username, password);
>
> AccountFeed accountFeed = as.getFeed(
> new URL("https://www.google.com/analytics/accounts/default"),
> AccountFeed.class);

The last method call throws:

Exception in thread "main"
com.google.gdata.util.RedirectRequiredException: Found
<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/
html;charset=utf-8">
<TITLE>302 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H1>302 Moved</H1>
The document has moved
<A HREF="http://www.google.si/">here</A>.
</BODY></HTML>

Any tips?

What platform and version of Java are you developing on?

Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 and it's default Java:

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-
b06-284)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-133, mixed mode, sharing)

The default locale (Locale.setDefault()/getDefault()) doesn't seem to
be relevant.

Researching this a bit further, it seems Google is redirecting based
on IP. The following minimal request:

--
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
--

redirects to www.google.si if I'm making the request from Slovenia and
to www.google.de if from Germany.

But don't know why this affects API requests :/

Gah!

The URL is incorrect, and I just copied it from the example. It's
missing "/feeds/".

So that's _THREE_ mistakes in a single example (http://code.google.com/
apis/analytics/docs/gdata/1.0/gdataJava.html#RetrievingAccounts):

- you call getFeed on AnalyticsService, not some accountFeeds
- the URL is incorrect
- TableId doesn't have the method getPlainText (from ae.getTableId
().getPlainText())

You're right, we'll fix it.

It also might be easier to look through the working examples here :
