Aggregate Multiple Waves With The Embed API?

[Eric Dorman]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to fetch all the public Waves that
are from Google Wave and have them automaticly update on a website?

I guess what I mean is how can I fetch every public wave that's coming
from Google Wave and have them automaticly load new Waves and show
current waves on a website?

I am thinking of using the Google Wave Embed API for this.

Thanks & God Bless,
Eric

You may be able to implement a search panel but I wouldn't know how :S

I want to create some sort of application like Tweetmeme or Techmeme.

Were I can fetch automaticly all of the public waves that are on
wave.google.com.

Do you think a gadget would be a better option for this or a website
using the Embed API?

Thanks & God Bless,
Eric

I'm not sure, but surely it would just be something like embedding a saved search somewhere. Maybe make a Gadget that can search within a Wave (in case you have a Wave maximized or something, I don't know) then make a version of it that lists public waves by not having an editable search and the search term be with:public or group:public or however they're making it work now.

Hey Sam,

What I really want to is to be able to have some javascript fetch all
Public Waves that are on Google Wave.

I have never really thought of having a saved search system within my
app,but it does sound interesting.

I just really want to find out if you can fetch multiple waves using
the Embed API or even if that's possible yet.

If not it would be cool.

Hi Eric-

We don't have an API that fetches wave searches now, and generally we don't have APIs for what you envision doing now. I would recommend that you try out making a gadget, a robot, and an embedded Wave, and then you'll have a good understanding of what can currently be done with the APIs.

Hey Pamela,

In the future will we be able to fetch all of the public waves from
Google Wave and have them be displayed on a third party website or do
I have to request this as a feature request?

I was going to do a gadget,but I would like my gadget to be
automaticly installed on the toolbar for every Wave User rather than
letting users add it to their waves.

I would like my gadget to be automaticly installed on the toolbar kind
of like the Maps Gadget or Yes/No/Maybe Gadget.

Is there any way to automaticly have your gadget installed on every
users toolbar?

Thanks & God Bless,
Eric

Yes, we imagine implementing an API like that in the future. Star this request:

http://code.google.com/p/google-wave-resources/issues/detail?id=363

No, the user must explicitly install any third-party extensions. If you create a nice extension, they can find it from the gallery and install it. It is similar to how most gadget and app containers work today (iGoogle, Orkut, Android, etc).

Hey Pamela,

Will it be possible in the future to fetch other participants public
waves and display them?

Are all the waves in the wave.google.com platform public or can you
have private waves?

Thanks for that link.

Thanks & God Bless,
Eric

That would be in line with that feature request, yes.

You can have private waves on all Wave servers.

Hey Pamela,

Awesome!!!

So I could create some sort of application that could retrieve a
participants waves and maybe make an app that is similar to Techmeme
or Technorati only it displays waves?

I hope this isn't a dumb question,but will there be more changes to
the Embed API in the next upcoming months?

Thanks & God Bless,
Eric

Sure, in the future, that would be possible. 

There will be changes to everything going forward. The APIs are in labs and constantly growing and evolving to meet developer's needs.

For now, please enjoy the API offerings that we currently have available. Thanks!

Hey Pamela,

Ok.

Thanks for answering my questions and thanks for responding so
quickly.

I have just developed my second Gadget and it's called Gnews Search.

It searches Google news for any query you put in and outputs the data
below the search box. I based it off of the example from the code
playgorund on the code.google.com site.

Thanks again.

Thanks & God Bless,
Eric
