## Known Derived Interfaces

GDataEntry is required by GDataAccessHandler and GDataCommentable.

## Includes

    #include <gdata/gdata-entry.h>

## Description

GDataEntry represents a single object on the online service, such as a playlist, video or calendar event. It is a snapshot of the state of that object at the time of querying the service, so modifications made to a GDataEntry will not be automatically or magically propagated to the server.

If you will only use the first link found, consider calling `gdata_entry_look_up_link()` instead.

#### Parameters
