Can I create a Google account programmatically?

Question

Does anybody know if via the google api in java I can create google accounts programmatically.

Answer 1

It depends on your definition of create account...

it is possible to create an account inside a google group, or domain. By using the code below you can create accounts for your google group/domain. For this scenario YES you CAN create a google account.

However, if you want to create a google account as in @gmail.com... I really have not found a way to do it programatically.

Here is the link of where to download the google api, and the Documentation. https://developers.google.com/google-apps/provisioning/#creating_a_user_account

Good Luck.

import sample.appsforyourdomain.AppsForYourDomainClient;

AppsForYourDomainClient client = new AppsForYourDomainClient(email, password, domain);
client.createUser(String username, String givenName, String familyName, String password)
