As anyone who has used Google Sites as a corporate CMS in frustration earnest knows, it leaves a bit to be desired. However, features come with time as you’d expect from the freeware giant. There’s now a new Google Sites Data API in Labs that allows client applications to access, publish and modify content within a Google Site. With this new API, Google Apps administrators can:
- Retrieve, create, modify, move, and delete pages, comments, attachments and other content.
- Review the revision history across the Site.
- Monitor all, add, modify and delete activity for a Site.
- Upload/download attachments and files.
- Create customized gadgets for your users.
The API also enables the development of new integration tools, like OffiSync which we reviewed earlier.
