Google+ API Launch Still Months Away

So, are there any ghetto homebrew APIs that just talk to Google+ via POST and GET requests? I've found something that lets me crosspost something to both twitter and Facebook, and it's annoying having to do it explicitly in Google+ as a separate action.

There is also an early API written for Node.js providing profile information and a user's posts as rss/atom/json (also available as npm package): https://github.com/fhemberger/googleplus-scraper

It's still read only, though – haven't seen anything writing back to G+ yet. All approaches to share/crosspost rely either on monitoring your public posts or sharing posts with a special bot user, which is linked to other services like twitter via oauth.

See the penultimate paragraph of the article.

Looks like that just reads Google+ data, but doesn't actually post anything back to it.
