I am trying to get calendar details from my Google calendar and wasn’t sure someone had found a way to get the data via API since the changes to Google.

Yes I have seen that and tried it. The issue is I cant seem to get it to call my calendar. I either get an error message or no return at all. Has anyone actually connected to their calendar using the API blocks or calling through http?

Yeah… It’s a bit complex API for me 😅  
I have done the calling stage, the AUTH stage - I can’t figure out… 😐

Thanks! 🙂

So you now understand my struggle LOL. Supposedly you can use a domain wide auth that dosnt require a user to accept the login but I havnt figure that out yet. Google also says that if we want to do an HTTP/REST API call we have to use a JSON Web Token. Attached is the link if anyone can help me/us understand this. [https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount)

Devs? @wei @jane @domhnallohanlon Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance.

(I also know that one shouldn’t really tag devs however this is a complex issue and there is no documentation that I’ve found to make this work.)

Look om [zapier.com](http://zapier.com).  
Difficult to show example. But quiet easy to read.

Thank you for the suggestion however I need the information from the calendar JSON data hence why I need to call the API.

I was able to do it with zapier.

My trigger event was Airtable, and the action was google calendar.

It added the user as attendees
