Do you have a plus Domains account? Did you authenticate with the correct Scope? Please show your authentication code. You know that google+ domains is not the same as Google+ the site right? — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Aug 15 '16 at 07:46

There is no way to write to the Google+ programmatically its a read only api. google domain account is for Google APPs and is not the same thing. — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Aug 15 '16 at 10:14

I think you are conufusing Google+ Domains and Google+ the social media platform.

Develop business apps that integrate with Google+

Develop business apps that integrate with Google+ With the Google+ Domains API, Google Apps customers and ISVs can build custom Google+ functionality and services for people who use Google Apps at college, at work, or at home. Organizations can develop tools to interact with Google+ features such as posts, comments, and circles. These tools let your users share information, reinforce communications, and grow productivity within your organization.

Getting Started with the Google+ Domains API

The Google+ Domains API offers a number of additional features compared to the Google+ API v1: Write posts to the stream restricted to the domain.

This is google apps domain This is Google plus

They are two different systems, with two different APIs. The Google+ website has the Google+ API which allows read only access to view things. It does not allow you to post to a users stream.

The Google APPs are used mostly by companies and has the Google+ Domain API which allows you to post messages to other members of the domain. This is not public no one besides the other members of the domain will see it.

You will need to play for a Google domain account for you company if you want to use it. it is not free
