send google hangout notification using python

Question

Is there an API which allows me to send a notification to Google Hangout? Or is there even a python module which encapsulates the Hangout API?

I would like to send system notification (e.g. hard disk failure reports) to a certain hangout account. Any ideas, suggestions?

Answer 1

Hangouts does not currently have a public API.

That said, messages delivered to the Google Talk XMPP server (talk.google.com:5222) are still being delivered to users via Hangouts. This support is only extended to one-on-one conversations, so the notification can't be delivered to a group of users. The messages will need to be supplied through an authenticated Google account in order to be delivered.
