How are you providing the access token as part of the rest call? You should provide it as part of an Authorization header indicating you have a bearer token. So the full HTTP request might look something like this, assuming your access token was "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"


POST /mirror/v1/timeline HTTP/1.1
Host: www.googleapis.com
Authorization: Bearer zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 26

{ "text": "Hello world" }

See https://developers.google.com/glass/timeline for this example and more details.

If you are trying to do this with curl, your command might look something like

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" \
  --header "Content-type: application/json" \
  --data '{ "text": "Hello world" }' \
  https://www.googleapis.com/mirror/v1/timeline

It is generally best to use one of the libraries, which will help manage authentication for you. Is there a reason you're using raw HTTP/REST?
