商业使用Google API [英] Commercial use of Google API
问题描述
这个问题可能更适合软件商业论坛，但尽管我的在那里发帖，我仍然无法确定以下内容：我可以使用Google API构建商业软件？如果不是，那么 Byline 为他们的应用收费如何？
更新：我特别感兴趣的是Google的Picasa& Reader API Google服务条款： b
$ b
5.3您同意不会访问（或尝试访问）任何服务除了通过Google提供的界面以外的任何其他方式进行，除非您已经特别允许与Google单独签署协议。您特别同意不通过任何自动方式（包括使用脚本或网络抓取工具）访问（或尝试访问）任何服务，并确保您遵守服务中提供的任何robots.txt文件中的说明。
（加入强调）
更具体地说，当你说 Google API，您所指的是 Google暴露的许多API ？他们每个人都有不同的使用条款。有些可以用于商业用途，有些则不可以。 更新： Picasa Button / 条款和上传器API $ b
7.1根据条款，您可以开发，展示和/或分发您的Button服务作为商业或非商业企业的一部分，您可以开发您的Button用于访问付费内容或服务。除非您与Google签订单独的已签署协议，否则您不得为使用任何Button收取单独的费用。如果您希望出售或转让您的按钮，您必须获得Google的事先书面许可。
5.8您可以使用Picasa网络相册API作为一个商业或非商业企业，遵守这些条款。但是，除非您与Google签订单独的签署协议，否则您不得为使用Picasa网络相册API收取单独的费用。
就 Google Reader API 而言，它仍然似乎没有发布，因此没有具体的条款可用。
要与Google达成已签署的协议，您可能最好是联系您当地的Google办公室并与他们的业务开发代表交谈......或者，您可以尝试联系 Business Proposals 部门的联系方式...
This question maybe a better fit on The Business of Software forum but despite my post on there, I'm still unable to determine the following: Can I use the Google API to build commercial software? If not how can the people behind Byline charge for their app?
Update: I'm specifically interested in Google's Picasa & Reader APIs
From the Google Terms of Service:
5.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services through any automated means (including use of scripts or web crawlers) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Services.
(emphasis added)
More specifically, when you say "the Google API", which of the many APIs Google exposes are you referring to? Each of them has different terms of use. Some can be used commercially, some can't.
Update:
from the terms for the Picasa Button and Uploader APIs
7.1 Subject to the Terms, you may develop, display and/or distribute your Button using the Services as part of a commercial or non-commercial enterprise, and you may develop your Button for use in accessing paid content or services. You may not charge a separate fee for use of any Button, unless you have entered into a separate signed agreement with Google. If you wish to sell or transfer your Button, you must obtain Google’s prior written permission.
from the terms for the Picasa Web Albums Data API
5.8 You may use the Picasa Web Albums API as part of a commercial or non-commercial enterprise, subject to these Terms. You may not however charge a separate fee for use of the Picasa Web Albums API unless you have entered into a separate signed agreement with Google.
As far as the Google Reader API is concerned, it still appears to be unreleased and so no specific terms are available.
To enter into a signed agreement with Google, you're probably best off contacting your local Google office and talking to one of their business development representatives there... Alternatively, you could try contacting the Business Proposals department from their contact page...
