As far as I know, you cannot use the Google+ API to post to your Google+ Pages, only to your profile.

So, the question is, how can JetPack post to your Google+ Pages on the wall(stream)?

How is that possible? Do they have some exception from Google?

  • You cant post to a wall or a page using the Google+ API. If that does work which I doubt it. They probably have some manual thing you will need to click on to post it or they have hacked it somehow. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Nov 10 '15 at 10:52

    I read though their documentation I think they are posting to moments. Moments aren't the same as posting to a wall as its posted to the application. I don't believe they show up publicly on the G+ website by I am be wrong by the way they are telling you to set things public. It still wont post to your personal page. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Nov 10 '15 at 11:27
  • It's posting to my pages. I use it on my website. DO they have some special agreement with Google? – John Doerthy Nov 10 '15 at 11:49

    BTW if your update is true then its off topic for Stackoverflow your question will be closed we don't do agreements. we do codeing issues. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Nov 10 '15 at 11:52
  • I removed your "update" from the question because it should have just been a comment. – abraham Nov 12 '15 at 14:07

There is no public API to post to a Google+ Profile or Page.

There is, however, a limited access API which allows a small number of companies to let its users post to a Google+ Page (but not a Profile).

I don't know if JetPack is using this API directly, or if it is working through a company that does have access to the API.

These few companies were granted special priviledges from Google. Read more here: http://mashable.com/2011/11/15/google-plus-pages-third-party-apps/
