I've just started building a .net windows forms application to merge analytics data (retrieved using the .net GData API client library) with other business data. Having looked at the Analytics samples in the SDK I have a quick prototype up and running. Before running any queries, this does the following:
// Authenticate with the Analytics Service
AnalyticsService service = new AnalyticsService("AnalyticsDataExtractor");
service.setUserCredentials(username, password);
where the username and password are appropriate for one of several accounts configured in the application.
I've read that to enjoy the full quota, applications have to be registered. What I have not been able to find out is how to identify the application (using the API key?) to the server using the .net client library.
Does this need to be done, and if so how?
Thanks very much in advance for any help.
