title: Google + API Get Hangout Id from URL
body: <p>I am trying to integrate Google Hangout API into my website.</p>
  
  <p>The user wants to:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Create a hangout</li>
  <li>Copy that URL</li>
  <li>Save that URL in our site</li>
  <li>Display information about hangout</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I know that I can get the information I need using: <a href="https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities/" rel="nofollow">https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities/</a>{activityId}</p>
  
  <p>What I am struggling with is getting the activity id.</p>
  
  <p>The only solution I see is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>First somehow find the userid /plus/v1/people?query</li>
  <li>Then list the activities for that person /plus/v1/people/00000/activities/ and match the url</li>
  <li>Then call /plus/v1/activities/</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>There as to be an easier way surely!</p>
