I\'m confused about using the Google Calendar API for adding/modifying events in ASP.NET webforms (C#).
I\'m not sure if I need oAuth or what. My app is on my own serve
To Call a google clould oauth2 protected resource
From your server to google server
Without user interaction
Accessing your own data
Using C#
Code :
var private_key = @"-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-ccc-END PRIVATE KEY-----\n";
string calendarId = @"xxxxxxxxxxxxx@group.calendar.google.com";
var client_email = @"my-google-calender@xxx.iam.gserviceaccount.com";
var credential =
new ServiceAccountCredential(
new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(client_email)
{
Scopes = new string[] { CalendarService.Scope.Calendar }
}.FromPrivateKey(private_key));
var service = new CalendarService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
HttpClientInitializer = credential,
});
Use service methods to get the data
Private Key and client_email can be generated from this link
Calendar Id can be found on calendar.google.com
You must share your calendar with client_email see the demo
