Frequently Asked Questions

What is Google Calendar API?

The Google Calendar API enables developers to add full calendar data and functionality into their app using a REST interface or through one of the client libraries Google offers for languages like Java, Python, PHP, JavaScript, and more.

How do I get started integrating with the Google Calendar API?

Before you can access a Google Calendar account, you will need to authenticate the account with the appropriate permissions. All Google APIs use OAuth 2.0 for account authentication and authorization, establishing a login process where your app negotiates with the Google Identity Platform to receive an access token for user accounts. This token provides limited access to user resources based on the scopes the user consented to as part of the authentication process. 

Alternatively, Nylas Hosted Auth auto-detects Google accounts, even for domains other than gmail.com, and prompts users to sign in and accept the permissions your app needs. Your user’s credentials are stored safely on our SOC 2 Certified infrastructure, and Nylas provides an access token your app can use for Google Calendar data and functionality.

How do I integrate Google Calendar API with other apps or services?

To integrate Google Calendar API with other apps or services, you must obtain your API credentials, choose a client library or create HTTP requests, and then write the code to authenticate and interact with the API. You can use various programming languages and tools, such as the Google API Client Libraries, OAuth 2.0, and REST APIs.

Is there any limitation to the number of events or calendars I can access through the Google Calendar API?

Yes, there are some limitations to the number of events or calendars you can access through the Google Calendar API. The specific limitations depend on the type of account you have and the type of API request you are making.

What programming languages can I use to integrate the Google Calendar API?

The Google Calendar API can be integrated using various programming languages like Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, and .NET. You must set up a Google Cloud Console project and obtain the necessary credentials to get started. Then, you can use the client libraries and code samples provided by Google to make API requests and interact with the calendar data.
