Google just released a new tool called GoogleCL that will allow users to interact with the Google’s popular Web services directly from the command line.

GoogleCL was developed in Python on top of the gdata-python-client library. It’s an open-source software project that’s hosted on Google Code and distributed under the Apache license. Users who want to contribute fixes and improvements can submit patches through the project’s issue tracker.

So how to use it, to interact and use with all Google services? Below is an example script which allows you to interact with Blogger.

Blogger

1. google blogger post –tags “GoogleCL, awesome” –title “Test Post” “I’m posting from the command line”
2. google blogger post blogpost.txt
3. google blogger list title,url-site # List posts
4. google blogger delete –title “Test Post”
5. google delete –title “Silly post number [0-9]*” # Delete posts matching regex
6. google tag –title “Dev post” –tags “Python, software” # label an existing post
