As part of an ongoing effort to increase the security around our users’ data, we’ve made some changes to the way requests must be made to some Google APIs. These changes will better protect user data from unauthorized parties. Starting September 9, 2011, this will affect the Google Documents List API, Spreadsheets API, and Sites API. For more information, please see this post on the Google Code blog.

Although we’re initially requiring SSL for only a few APIs, we strongly recommend that you convert all of your API clients as soon as possible to use SSL in order to help protect your users’ data.
