I'm using Google Apps for my domain, and trying to enable access to the calendar on my website.
The problem is that I get This feed is read-only error every time I try to add an event to the calendar. Here's where I post to: Link (dead link)
You're using the basic feed, which according to the documentation is always read-only. Use a feed URL ending in private/full or private/full-noattendees instead.
(Disclaimer: I work for Google, and as part of implementing the calendar side of Google Sync I've had some experience of working with the GData APIs, but anything I write here must be taken to be the views of a private individual rather than as official Google policy etc :)

I wonder if I can get working places for all users from organization using calendar API. Coworkers from my organization uses google calendar to mark if they work from home or office. I attach screen to show what I am talking about.
I've searched many endpoints from calendar API but did not find suitable one. Is it possible to get those information from API?
It is not yet possible to retrieve those information from the API.
But Google already documented it (tutorial, API reference) and it should come at some point in the (hopefully) near future.
Here is the related issue in their tracker : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199918380
I have read a helpful post for grades...
Is there an API for extracting grades in Google Classroom
and the API for grading...
https://developers.google.com/classroom/guides/manage-coursework#grade_student_responses
but haven't been able to see anything for rubric grading data yet. Or am I missing it?
Answer:
Unfortunately, at this time, there isn't a way of getting Rubrics from the Classroom API.
Feature Request:
There is already a report on Google's Issue Tracker which request this feature to be added to the API:
Add Rubrics to Classroom API
It appears that Google does seem to know about this and has responded on the above feature request. What you can do it hit the ☆ next to the issue number in the top left on the aforementioned page - this lets Google know more people are wanting this feature to be implemented and so it is more likely to be seen to faster.
My web-app is using Google+ API method called people.me. I was notified via E-Mail that this Api is going to shutdown on March 7. I was given a list of methods used by me in that Api and this was the only method in the list.
Today it's March 11 and the method keeps working correctly. Why? Maybe I understood something wrongly?
If you check the top of a lot of the methods in the Google+ documentation you will see this
The Google+ People API list endpoint is deprecated. Consider using the Google People API instead.
On some of the methods that does not appear. IMO that is because some of these endpoints never actual read from the Google+ api rather they were reading from the google people api all along and just got a plus in the name. They may at some point have read from it and were moved when they redid google contacts. The people.me endpoint is part of the google people api and not the google plus api
People.get
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/userId
is the same as
people.get
GET https://people.googleapis.com/v1/{resourceName=people/*}
The data for both of those end points comes from google contacts.
Now again this is just my opinion i have emailed google several times and the only answer i got back is we will look into it. I would wait until April if they are still live i guess we are good.
I read the following two pages on Google:
1) https://developers.google.com/google-apps/documents-list/#getting_a_list_of_documents_and_files
and
2) https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer
I can go as far as getting an access_token (OAuth2) to be used in a subsequent Google API call (I want to call Google Docs Listing or Google Drive).
I wanted to use curl or something similar and just form my https URL.
- As such in the 1st document states to form a URL as follows:
https: //docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full
- In the 2nd document, the example states to use something like https: //www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token=xxxxx
(adding the access token to the call)
Several questions
- Do I call googleapis.com or docs.google.com?
- can I call https: //docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full?access_token=xxxxx
just add the access token to the call?
thanks
You need some effort to approach a Google API the first time, but then it's easy and elegant:
Manual preparation (One-time action): Sign in to Google, create a project, enable the API in question, create new Cient ID.
Get OAuth code, refresh token and access token (one-time action).
Make the API call (repetitive arbitrary actions).
Here is a detailed explanation of the entire process - Steps to make a Google API call.
A practical sample based on the Google Calendar API with full demo code in a single HTML file can also be reviewed here - Easy and compact access to my Google calendars.
The fastest way to get started is probably the quickstart guide for the Google Drive API, which shows how to setup your environment and write a complete command-line app to upload a file to Drive:
https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart
Hie you can go through the Google Docs Sample Available Here
it's a command line smaple but this same thing you can implement in android. it works for me. you will find "docs-cmdline-sample" in repo. that will help you.
Is there a way to get Email/Website of a particular place using Google Places API? If this is not possible is there a way other than using Google API?
To retrieve a places website address using Google Places API, you could perform a Places Autocomplete Request with the input parameter value set to the name of the place: e.g.input=Amoeba
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Amoeba&sensor=false&key=your_api_key
Then using the reference from the response you could perform a Places Details Request: e.g.
reference=ClRMAAAAVzPUTLym999EXs4mKkpTqEmzX0a2kfXCUs4enTvWMHDd06VLvlzsGOdfrRd2QvkiRWs4sNkraAAJlMdytt4O4kYGoJZn4ENL5Ig5QYyeJmMSECDOGMO1MnDFtqzdqD8oDk0aFJr8_s-Y946QOz24YubPUsmoC2vl
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=ClRMAAAAVzPUTLym999EXs4mKkpTqEmzX0a2kfXCUs4enTvWMHDd06VLvlzsGOdfrRd2QvkiRWs4sNkraAAJlMdytt4O4kYGoJZn4ENL5Ig5QYyeJmMSECDOGMO1MnDFtqzdqD8oDk0aFJr8_s-Y946QOz24YubPUsmoC2vl&sensor=false&key=you_api_key
This would return the details for Amoeba including if available, the parameter website which would contain the places website address.
Google Places API provides Details requests and responses using your API key.
The tag allows for the google places url for that places
e.g.
http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=10704550479004381649
If you wish to harvest website, fax and opening hours information, it can only be done here.
There is no direct api in the Google Places API that will provide that info.
Just as addressComponents are part of the Details response, i assume tags will be added to the Place Details responses from the API to address this problem.
I have been trying to use Google Places API, and I have successful queries, fetching Places details, which has all the address information for the place I want to find, but ironically, there is NO WEBSITE attribute in the returned JSON!
The first version of Local search was MUCH better, and always accurate for searches when you know the business name.
