Google has added another API to its ever-growing stable of developer tools. The ["Google Documents List Data API"][1] can be used to upload new documents or to grab a list of existing documents from your Google Documents List.
The Documents List Data API builds on the GData framework, but offers some more hooks into the Google Docs and Spreadsheets application. Other improvements include full-text search capabilities for grabbing particular documents.
There's also a separate [Spreadsheets API][2] which offers some impressively fine grained options -- right down to individual spreadsheet cells.
Google offers some code samples for the new API in both Java and Python. The notable absence of PHP -- probably the most popular web-programming language -- seems to indicate that Google seems this as more of a desktop client tool, though at this point the API is too simplistic to build anything really cool like a Microsoft Word or OpenOffice plug-in.
