Overview of Google Calendar#

The Google Calendar API gives developers access to Google Calendar data,
allowing them to create their own applications that can read, write, and update
calendar data. With the API, users can integrate their own calendar
applications with Google Calendar, giving them the ability to manage their
calendars in one place. The API also provides the ability to search for events
and create new events.

Possible applications that could be built using the Google Calendar API
include:

A calendar application that integrates with Google Calendar, allowing users
to manage their calendars in one place.
A calendar application that allows users to search for events and create new
events.
A to-do list application that integrates with Google Calendar, allowing users
to see their tasks and events in one place.
A reminder application that uses Google Calendar data to remind users of
upcoming events.

Connect Google Calendar#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    google_calendar: {
      type: "app",
      app: "google_calendar",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_calendar.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Python#

Python API on Pipedream offers developers to build or automate a variety of
tasks from their web and cloud apps. With the Python API, users are able to

Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream

Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
