I want to get the text of recent Google Groups messages from a specific group in a Google Apps organization. The group is used for announcements, and I want to mirror this announcement text on a Python-powered website.

How can I get this text programmatically? I have found APIs for group settings, membership, and even inserting arbitrary messages for migration. But I can't find anything for getting text or html of recent messages.

Do I have to resort to HTML scraping?

  • Ya, if you want to get the html from messages, you'll have to use the mechanize framework. – 74U n3U7r1no Jul 27 '15 at 18:36
  • That's very frustrating if true. I find it difficult to believe that nobody else has ever needed to parse Google Groups archives. It's a very obvious API that I think Google should be exposing. – Slix Jul 27 '15 at 20:17
