How do I use the Google Finance and Chart APIs? I want to embed them in my website.
Thanks.
The Google Chart developers guide is excellent, very clear and lots of examples. As well as seeing the code executed inline on those pages, you can cut and paste the examples into your own webpages to see them in action on your local web installation.
For Google finance, start here, and follow Google's advice!
Get familiar with the Google Data APIs.
Read the Finance Portfolio Data API Developer's Guide.
Refer to the Reference Guide as needed.

I am new to google spreadsheets.
I am trying to use them for a small website where instead of maintaining a DB, I am storing and fetching data from sheets using APIs.
I found this library - https://github.com/mikeymckay/google-spreadsheet-javascript , for fetching data from a published sheet.
It serves my purpose of doing everything in the browser.
But I am not able to figure out how can I write data to same/different spreadsheet.
Do I use Sheet APIs? Can I also do it using App Script ? Is there a ready to use library for the same ?
Can someone please help?
You'd likely want to check out the Google Drive API, rather than Google Apps Scripts. I don't have much experience with it, especially in regards to using it on a website, but that's the best direction to head in.

Anyone have advice on how to get a control to do something like this

I will be plotting based on city or zip so i need to maintain some geo aspects but in the end the chart control needs to look like this guy.
Ideally no flash... but interested to see if anyone has hit something like this.
open or commercial source, im game
d3 seems to be a pretty good library for data visualization.

Here's an implementation similar to what you are looking for. http://trends.truliablog.com/vis/metro-movers/
I suggest you check out the Google Maps API. There are two versions of the API:
Static Maps API V2 - from the docs:
The Google Static Maps API lets you embed a Google Maps image on your
web page without requiring JavaScript or any dynamic page loading. The
Google Static Map service creates your map based on URL parameters
sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image
you can display on your web page.
There are Usage Limits: The free version has a query limit of 1000 unique (different) image requests per viewer per day, if that will work for your situation. There is a licensed option above that with associated licensing fees.
Google Maps JavaScript API v3 - from the docs:
The Google Maps Javascript API lets you embed Google Maps in your own
web pages. Version 3 of this API is especially designed to be faster
and more applicable to mobile devices, as well as traditional desktop
browser applications. The API provides a number of utilities for
manipulating maps (just like on the http://maps.google.com web page)
and adding content to the map through a variety of services, allowing
you to create robust maps applications on your website.
There are similar usage limits for this version, also with a licensed option above the free version.
The API could easily create a map to match the one at your link. These aren't an exact match, but here are some examples from the Google Maps Demo Gallery:
We ended up using http://www.mapdotnet.com/ with background from open maps. Custom middle cache tiles from shape files stored in SQL, on top we have open street layer (or can use bing)
In building a Google Commerce Search search form, one of the pieces of code Google instructed us include was located at this address:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/googleapis/0.0.4/googleapis.min.js
I'm getting a javascript error that seems to be emanating from this javascript file and I was wondering if this is the latest version of said javascript file? If not, can someone direct me as to where the latest version of this google api JS file lies?
P.S. I have been unable to get any conclusion from Google that this is the correct, most-up-to-date version of the file.
If you are looking after google search API - this is the location to find the latest:
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
In case you need some other APIs checkout their new location at:
https://developers.google.com/ you will have there a list of all the (many) APIs.
I would like to know how to create a graph with Google Analytics (maybe using the api), but I'm unsure if there is already a plugin or tutorial on how to do this. The Javascript API reference at Google.com sucks.
Also any reference to how to create a line graph (canvas element?) would be great too.
Thanks!
I learned to use the Google Visualization API (the one used by analytics, and the one I believe you refer to) from the examples at https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs and found it quite clear.
You can use examples of different graphs from the Gallery as well: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery.html
I created a service specifically for this purpose:
EmbeddedAnalytics
You define your chart type (line, bar, horizontal bar), metrics (pageviews, visits, etc), dimension (date, country,etc), and a time frame. Then you simply embed a snippet of code into your site where you want the chart to appear.
Google now has an article specifically on this topic.

EDIT (5/15/2012): The link above goes to a blog post on Explainum -- 3rd party web-service which allows creating embeddable charts from various data sources including (and most popular) Google Analytics.
Connection to GA is made using OAuth. You will need to know your GA profile ID in order to connect. Data is updated every 2-24 hours. The service is free.
