We are fetching google calendar events through OAuth2 tokens with Google Calendar API V3 to our customers, but for some of customers' calendar getting empty response. We got empty response for the same calendar in Google OAuth Playground.
{
"nextPageToken": "CjkKK2xwamMycHJ2MDU2cGp2YFxcmY3OXRtNTg0XzIwMTQwMjEyVDA0MzAwMFoYASCAgMDEtcaFoBQaDQgAEgAY2M-X7qfLvAI=",

But when the same user is authenticated through AuthSub, it is fetching the events list. Is anyone having the same issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried actually calling the API with the nextPageToken? Usually the client libraries do this auto pagination for you, but in this case you may need to manually make the call. In general, you should plan on calling next pages until nextPageToken is empty or not present.
This might just be an weirdness with the API.
We can't set pageToken to the event instance
Calendar.Events.List events = service.build().events().list(gCalId);
But when we try model Events instance, we able to set pageToken and got response too
com.google.api.services.calendar.model.Events events = service.build().events().list(gCalId).setPageToken(pageToken).execute();

We are implementing server to server notifications for Android in-app purchases.
For each of the user-generated events (purchase, cancellation, etc.), we receive and parse real-time developer notifications, according to Google Play's rtdn reference.
After parsing each notification, we submit the subscription to the play store for verification, according to Google Play Developer API purchases.subscriptions.
The JSON responses we expect back should correspond to the action that the user has taken. For example, after the SUBSCRIPTION_PURCHASED notification was received, the verification response looks like this:
{
"startTimeMillis": "1615196368232",
"expiryTimeMillis": "1615196783756",
"autoRenewing": true,
"priceCurrencyCode": "EUR",
"priceAmountMicros": "3990000",
"countryCode": "DE",
"developerPayload": "",
"paymentState": 1,
"orderId": "GPA.3391-4718-6063-47314",
"purchaseType": 0,
"acknowledgementState": 1,
"kind": "androidpublisher#subscriptionPurchase"
}
Now, the headaches start when the user cancels their subscription (via the Play Store app), thus generating a SUBSCRIPTION_CANCELED notification. The verification response looks like this:
{
"startTimeMillis": "1615196368232",
"expiryTimeMillis": "1615196664327",
"autoRenewing": false,
"priceCurrencyCode": "EUR",
"priceAmountMicros": "3990000",
"countryCode": "DE",
"developerPayload": "",
"cancelReason": 0,
"userCancellationTimeMillis": "1615196648401",
"orderId": "GPA.3391-4718-6063-47314",
"purchaseType": 0,
"acknowledgementState": 1,
"kind": "androidpublisher#subscriptionPurchase"
}
There are some new fields present, defining the cancellation:
"cancelReason": integer,
"userCancellationTimeMillis": string,
This is great and works as expected. However, there are still some cancellation fields missing. Namely, the SubscriptionCancelSurveyResult, defined as:
"cancelSurveyResult": {
"cancelSurveyReason": integer,
"userInputCancelReason": string
}
The documentation mentions for both userInputCancelReason and userCancellationTimeMillis:
Only present if cancelReason is 0.
cancelReason is already 0, as it can be seen in the screenshot attached. However, only userCancellationTimeMillis is present. Why is there no cancelSurveyResult and no userInputCancelReason?
You app can look at the cancelReason in the subscription resource returned from the Google Play Developer API to learn why the subscription was cancelled (e.g. the customer cancelled or had billing issues). If the subscription was cancelled by the user, your app can look at the cancelSurveyResult field to learn why the user cancelled the subscription.

In the Google Calendar api there's the ability to request that a conferencing link be created when an event is created.
My current setup is that I have an account that is creating google calendar events whenever someone schedules a meeting on my app. The problem is that when someone outside of my organization tries to join the meeting it says "ask to join" which isn't possible since nobody from my organization will be in the meeing. Are there are parameters to let me turn off the waiting room feature or at least have a list of approved emails that are allowed to enter the meeting. The request body looks like this right now:
{
"end": {
"dateTime": "2020-08-30T05:27:35.206Z"
},
"start": {
"dateTime": "2020-08-29T05:27:35.206Z"
},
"conferenceData": {
"createRequest": {
"conferenceSolutionKey": {
"type": "hangoutsMeet"
},
"requestId": "12345"
}
},
"summary": "Test event with meets 2",
"attendees": [
{
"email": "****#gmail.com"
}
]
}
The attendee I added still has to request to join the meeting.
This appears to be a bug!
I have taken the liberty of reporting this on Google's Issue Tracker for you, detailing the behaviour:
User from outside of G Suite domain required to ask to join a Meeting from a Calendar event they are invited to
You can hit the ☆ next to the issue number in the top left on the page which lets Google know more people are encountering this and so it is more likely to be seen to faster.
I would like to add an all-day event to my Google Classroom Course as an assignment with the Classroom API found here: Method: courses.courseWork.create documentation
Here is the json request I've been using in their API explorer:
{
"title": "Lesson 1.1",
"workType": "assignment",
"state": "published",
"description": "This is a test assignment.",
"dueDate": {
"year": 2017,
"month": 9,
"day": 2
},
"dueTime": {
"hours": null,
"minutes": null
}
}
I've tried many variations, but it always posts the assignment due at 8:00 PM by default, never an allDay or all-day event. Removing the dueTime isn't allowed per the documentation. Yet, when I manually create a lesson it's an optional field. I inspected the post data and couldn't find out how this is happening.
It doesn't appear to mention how to create an all-day event in the Google Classroom API documentation and the Google Calendar API docs didn't give me any usable hints.
Any ideas?
I'd like to automate the gathering of unsubscribe and cleaned email accounts for a given campaign.
In the API playground, I see all the methods available on the List entity.
Unsubscribes
I see that it's in the LIST API
GET reports/xxxxxx/unsubscribed
Cleaned
Where can I find the cleaned/bounced emails from a list or campaign? I know I can see the count of bounced in various places, but I'd like to find the email addresses that actually bounced, and the first and last names of the list member. Basically I'd like the API same as the 'export cleaned to csv' available on the website.
How can I use the MailChimp 3.0 API to do this?
You can do
GET lists/list_id/members?status=unsubscribed
to get unsubscribed users
GET lists/list_id/members?status=cleaned
to get cleaned/bounced users
For the bounced emails in a specific campaign you need to do this:
GET /3.0/reports/campaign_id/email-activity
and iterate though all recipients in the campaign, manually locating actions with type=bounce.
{
"email_address": "xxx#example.com",
"activity": [
{
"action": "bounce",
"type": "hard",
"timestamp": "2019-04-08T00:00:00+00:00"
}
]
},
Unfortunately MailChimp has very bad performance on this endpoint, approximately 25 seconds to return activity for a campaign with 500 recipients.
Since soft bounce will not change status inside the list(audience), to get soft bounce email from the list without specific campaign, you can use
GET lists/{list-id}/members/{subscriber_hash}/activity
This endpoint will only return for single email(contact), so you need to iterate through all email(contact) in the list.
Sample response:
"activity": [
{
"action": "bounce",
"timestamp": "2019-05-01T23:02:26+00:00",
"type": "soft",
"campaign_id": "xxxxxxxxxx",
"title": "Xxxx Xxxxxxx"
},
{
"action": "sent",
"timestamp": "2019-05-01T23:00:00+00:00",
"type": "regular",
"campaign_id": "xxxxxxxxxx",
"title": "Xxxx Xxxxxxx"
}
],
I may be over thinking this a bit. On my web site, I would like to user certain data from my public google calendar. My plan is to pull it on the server side so I can do things like process it, cache it and format it the way I want.
I've been looking at using the Google Api libraries, but I can't get past any of the authorization hurdles. A service account sounds like what I really want, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how that works in this situation.
The old GDATA apis would be ok, but I'm not very keen on using them because they look fairly deprecated at this point by the newer libraries.
Since it is all public data, I'm hoping there is a simpler way to get to the event data that I'm looking for.
In case it matters, my site is Asp.Net (MVC).
Update
Ok, I was definitely way over thinking it. See my answer.
Now that RSS has been removed from Google Calendar, I've been in search of an easy replacement. I dug around and found the following in the Google Calendar API that seems to do the trick: calendar.events.list
Calendar Events List in Google API Explorer is a good place to get started with the different parameters and options - and it'll build you an example request string. You can see that I specified a minimum time of 2/5/2016, sort it by the start time, and show deleted events.
GET https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/[CALENDAR ID HERE]/events?
orderBy=startTime&showDeleted=true&singleEvents=true&
timeMin=2016-02-05T00%3A00%3A00Z&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Results are in JSON so you can parse it in your favorite programming language, ASP.NET or whatever. Result looks like:
{
"kind": "calendar#events",
"etag": "\"123456789123456\"",

One good answer to this (the one I'm going with) is to simply use the calendar's public address to get the data. This is an option that I had forgotten about and it works fine for this particular situation.
You can find the url for the data if you go to the settings for a particular calendar and pick the format you want (I went with xml for this situation.)
The data that you get out of this service is very human-reader optimized, but I can make it work for what I'm doing.
