To start the service, just run calendar-service.
If you need help, just run calendar-service --help.
There are a few command line parameters available:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| authEmail | The OAuth 2.0 service account email address, as listed in your project in the Google Developer's console |
| authSubject | The email address to impersonate. The request will be made on behalf of this account, so you need ownership of this user account |
| keyFile | The location of the PEM encoded keyfile to authenticate your service account |
| port | The port the service listens on. |
| allowedOrigins | comma seperated list of CORS origins to allow. In order to access the service directly from a javascript application, you'll need to specify the origin you'll be running the javascript site on. For example: http://www.myjavascriptapplication.com |
Once the service is up and running, you can connect to it using
http://yourdomain.com:3000/calendar/calendarid where calendarid is the Google calendar id you'd like information for.
Example: http://yourdomain:3000/calendar/[email protected]
To test your service quickly, you can use the Postman Google Chrome Extension to call the service and see the JSON return format.
Calendar information will be returned as a JSON payload outlined on the Google Calendar developer website.
