Get Started

Instantiate Calapi Oauth Instance

from calapi import Oauth
client = Oauth(
    credentials_path='./credentials.json',
    scopes=[
        'openid',
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile',
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events',
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar',
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly'
    ]
)

Get Users consent for Calendar Access

(Note: Users Consent is required for accessing user calendar)

# Redirect URL to which google will callback with state and code
callback_url = 'https://yourdomain.com/api/v1/google/calendar/callback'

# Use `oauth_consent_url` to get user's consent
oauth_consent_url = client.get_authorization_url(redirect_uri=callback_url)

Fetch User's Access Token using Google's callback after users consent

(Google will callback on provided redirect_uri)

# Upon Googles Oauth callback, get state & code from query params
state = request.args.get('state')
code = request.args.get('code')

# Call this function on google's callback after users consent
session_credentials = client.on_auth_callback(state, code)

# Store Users session credentials in DB for performing actions on user's Calendar

Instantiate Session Object for user

from calapi import Session
session = Session(session_credentials=session_credentials)

Using Events API

(Refer Google's docs: https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events) (Get all the usage information for events api using below line)

help(session.events)

Create Event on Users Calendar

# Generate query for inserting
query = session.events.query.start(
            date_time='2021-06-03T09:00:00-07:00',
            time_zone='America/Los_Angeles'
        ).end(
            date_time='2021-06-03T09:30:00-07:00',
            time_zone='America/Los_Angeles'

        ).recurrence([
            'RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=2'
        ]).reminders({

            'overrides': [
                {'method': 'email', 'minutes': 24 * 60},
                {'method': 'popup', 'minutes': 10},
            ],
        })
# Insert to the calendar
created_event = session.events.insert(query)

Get Event using event id

event = session.events.get(event_id)

Update Event using event id

query = session.events.query.summary(
                'Updated summary Google I/O 2015'
            ).description(
                'Updated description 800 Howard St., San Francisco, CA 94103'
            )
resp = session.events.update(event_id, query)

Delete Event

resp = session.events.delete(event_id)

Using Calendars API

(Refer Google's docs: https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/calendars)

Get all the usage information for calendars api using below line

help(session.calendars)

Create Secondary Calendar

# Generate query for inserting
query = session.events.query.summary(
            'calendarSummary'
        ).time_zone(
            'America/Los_Angeles'
        )
# Insert Secondary calendar
calendar = session.calendars.insert(query)

Get metadata for a calendar

resp = session.calendars.get(calendar_id)

Update metadata for a calendar

query = session.calendars.query.summary(
                    'New Summary'
