Google Plus Automated Posting

Got here from SNAP WordPress plugin?

Google+ API library is now included and integrated with the SNAP Pro for WordPress plugin. No separate installation is required.

NextScripts Google+ API library for PHP

You have a site or blog and you are already posting your updates to Facebook, Twitter and some other networks, but what about Google Plus?

Users of the newest Social Network aiming to be on the top are still lacking information about your updates. Google Plus API is still read only, so there were no way to sync your updates around all networks including Google Plus. Now it is. Google Plus Automated Posting script from “NextScripts” is capable of automatically submitting posts from your site directly to your Google Plus account.

NextScripts Google+ API allows you to post simple text messages, “attach” links to text messages with preview text and picture as well as make “Image posts”.

NextScripts Google+ API can post to:

	Google+ Profiles
	Google+ Business Pages
	Google+ Communities

Also get a WordPress Plugin that will automatically publish all your posts to Google Plus.

Google+ Automated Posting Demo

 Include linked image         Include linked URL – some random URL will be attached to the post

Select Image to be Posted:

 Post it to our Demo Google Plus Account

Please note: Google uses geolocation, so if you are close to the server you will see new post immediately, otherwise post needs to be pushed to Google+ servers near you. Sometimes it takes 2-5 minutes for the post to appear on the Google+ page. If you don’t see the post on our Google+ page immediately, please check it in 2-5 minutes, it will be there.

We need to keep our demo account clean, so any external URLs you type in the field will be removed, Of course, the real API will post everything as is.
