Google Docs API Identification (no user interaction)
Please call me in the right direction?
I am working on a hosted app that runs periodically and needs to authenticate with Google before doing it with DocumentsListAPI
The key point is that there is no user to handle redirects, etc.
Ideally I would like to use the .NET libraries (DotNetOpenAuth and google-gdata)
I am happy to make a leg if some knowledgeable person just gives me a push on the right path.

You will need to obtain the Application Specific Password . What will need to be done is you will log in once manually, then generate an application specific password associated with the account you logged in with, after which you can simply pass the application username and password to the API requests that your the program does and you don't need the additional user interaction you are worried about.
