Google Calendar "other calendars" XML feeds - gdata-api

I'm building a webapp that leverages gdata-api to bring a user's calendars into the application. I'd like to also be able to bring their other calendars in as well, but can't find an XML feed for some of them.
I've noticed that not all of the "other calendars" in Google Calendar have XML feeds. For instance, over a year ago I subscribed to a calendar called "MNT", which is the US Men's National Team (soccer). When I go into settings, this calendar has XML, ICAL, and HTML addresses.
But if I click the Add link under "Other Calendars" and browse for interesting calendars, select Sports -> Soccer -> EPL -> Manchester United and subscribe to it, it only has an HTML address. So far, all of the other calendars I've tried only have HTML addresses.
Is there a way to get an XML feed from these calendars that only display an HTML address?
Is there a better place to find XML calendar feeds than Add -> Interesting Calendars?
Thanks!

I believe that this is due to licensing issues for calendars such as the sports one. That's certainly why you can't sync sports calendars to mobile devices using Google Sync.
Some of the "interesting" calendars do have XML feeds, such as UK Public Holidays and Phases of the Moon.

Cannot find my country when I try to create a payment profile in Google Play Console

I'm trying to create a payments profile in the Google Play console. In the Business location drop-down menu. When I want to select my country (Morocco). I cannot find it in the given list. When I search for a restriction on my country, I cannot find any restrictions, here is a list of allowed countries including my country.
I posted this question in the Google play help center, but I haven't received a response.
I don't know what to do in this case.
According to this Google Support page, Supported locations for developer & merchant registration, Morocco is not supported for merchant registrations.

Do Google Classroom Calendars use Google Calendars API?

We are looking to integrate with Google Classroom in the near future, and one of the main questions is if the Google Classroom Calendars are able to be pulled using the Google Calendar API. I would assume the Calendar List endpoint would include the Classroom Calendar as an available calendar to sync with, but wanted to get some input from those who are using Google Classroom. Thank you.
Yes. You can fetch the calendar events from Google Classroom as long as the calendar events were created inside Google Classroom which is mentioned here.
Demo:
Go to a class.
Go to ABOUT section and click 'Open in Google Calendar'.
Now it will open Google Calendar. Create a sample Event.
Go to Calendar.list Try-It and on the "Fields" textbox (above Execute button), check all the parameters. Execute. You will see all the events in your Google Calendar including ones those that belong to Google Classroom.

Get a list of Google Calendar feeds

Google Calendar provides the user with the possibility to create different calendars for the same account (called feeds). These are listed below "my calendars" in the right side of the screen.
Is it possible through the Google Calendar API to get a list of the feeds a user has created?
Yes, you can do this with the CalendarList.list() API call.

Is it possible send emails to joomla users from google calendar events

I have a google calendar and i have used Gcalndar extension to view events on my website.
Is it possible somehow that i can send the all joomla users an email about new events from google calendar
You wouldn't be able to do it through Google Calendar unless you export a list of emails then paste that list in to the guests box in the event details. That would be a pretty big pain to do every time. It would probably be a lot easier to use one of the many newsletter management extensions to send out event announcements through the Joomla site. Tons of options in the JED here - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/newsletter

Need a service that build calendar (iCal, outlook) links

The users of my Joomla based site often need to create an artice where the post some appointment dates. Now they would like to have an easy way to add calendar links for the most popular calendars ICal, Outlook, Thunderbird, Google Calendar. Do you know of a simple way how they could do that? Maybe there is a joomla plugin for that? Or maybe there is an online service somewhere where the user could enter the dates and then urls for the various calendars are created. Sort of lie ImageShack but for calenders ?
Have you taken a look at the different calendar extensions available for Joomla?
I would take a look at the list here.
The first one in the list, Zap Calendar sounds like it might meet your requirements. Although it is commercial!
