Hi,

I have been struggling with getting a service account up and running using the google-api-php-client library.
Its failing when I try to modify the data (update or insert).
It works when I run simple queries.
See below code for examples of both queries.
When I try to insert data I get the following error:
I really don't know where I'm going wrong, Im pretty sure everything is setup correctly on the api console, table is public.
Advice greatly appreciated!!!



"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_ServiceException' with message 'Error calling POST https://www.googleapis.com/fusiontables/v1/query?sql=INSERT%20INTO%201P8kJGgBvCYHOHWbPJwf8b8TtykociMAyzWq8Pz4%20%28stat_id%2C%20latitude%2C%20longitude%2C%20stat_type%29%20VALUES%20%28%272532%27%2C%2055.664503%2C%2012.59953%2C%20%27c%27%29: (403) Forbidden' in C:\xampp\htdocs\auto_obs\google-api-php-client\io\Google_REST.php:66 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\auto_obs\google-api-php-client\io\Google_REST.php(36): Google_REST::decodeHttpResponse(Object(Google_HttpRequest)) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\auto_obs\google-api-php-client\service\Google_ServiceResource.php(177): Google_REST::execute(Object(Google_HttpRequest)) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\auto_obs\google-api-php-client\contrib\Google_FusiontablesService.php(182): Google_ServiceResource->__call('sql', Array) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\auto_obs\cache_obs_data.php(50): Google_QueryServiceResource->sql('INSERT INTO 1P8...') #4 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\auto_obs\google-api-php-client\io\Google_REST.php on line 66"

   $key)

$client->setClientId(CLIENT_ID);
$service = new Google_FusiontablesService($client);
$insQuery = "INSERT INTO 1P8kJGgBvCYHOHWbPJwf8b8TtykociMAyzWq8Pz4 (stat_id, latitude, longitude, stat_type) VALUES ('2532', 55.664503, 12.59953, 'c')";
// $selQuery = "select * from 1P8kJGgBvCYHOHWbPJwf8b8TtykociMAyzWq8Pz4 where rowid = '1'";
$res = $service->query->sql($insQuery);

I tried also calling:
$client::$auth->refreshTokenWithAssertion();
after 
$client->setAssertionCredentials(new Google_AssertionCredentials(...);
No affect ;(


KR,

Ok so I finally got this to work and I thought Id share this with everyone In case you get stuck like I did.
One step that seems to be missing from all usage examples I've seen is the service account email address needs to be added via Google Docs.

  1. Select the document (FT) in Google Docs
  2. Click "Share"  
  3. Select "Add People"
  4. Enter your service account email address, e.g.     myservice...@developer.gserviceaccount.com
  5. Ensure "Can Edit" is selected.
  6. Un-check "notify people via email"
  7. Click "Share and Save"

This was a complete guess on my part but seems to have fixed my problem. 
I can finally insert into my FT via my service account.
Hope this helps.

Bob.
