I am currently developing a website which helps to post directly on social networks. But I couldn't post to a Google plus profile. I searched the whole Google+ API developer document, but I couldn't find out any api to post in a Google plus profile.

I even tried Google Domains API for posting, but that was too domain restricted. I know some types of Google plus APIs are only available for their partners. I can post to a google plus page, since I have access to that APIs. But how to post in a profile. Is there any other API which is restricted to public for profile posting. I think many applications such as Buffer and Hootsuite can post to Google plus profile.

The Google+ API is currently read only. Which means you cant post to it google+ programmaticly. There is probably a private API that Google allows some sites to use. This is not public and i have never seen anyone get access to it.

The only option you have is the Google+ sharing button here which is not a believe what you are looking for.

<!-- Place this tag in your head or just before your close body tag. -->
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js" async defer></script>

<!-- Place this tag where you want the share button to render. -->
<div class="g-plus" data-action="share"></div>

  • But apps like Buffer, Hootsuite can directly post to Google plus. – Sruthy May 28 '18 at 06:44
  • These apps probably have an agreement with Google. If your company is that big. Then your company probably already has some contacts from within Google You may want to contact them directly. There is no public API for the average developer to use to post to Google+ – Linda Lawton - DaImTo May 28 '18 at 07:00
