Google Calendar API

Google's calendar API can be used to get calendar events of a user after (s)he has authorized the app.

Learnings

• Very easy to use. The Quickstart guide was very helpful

• Tried it during the QBSE mobile hack-day 3/30/18 to match calendar events to unreviewed trips.

• Made a working demo of the code

• Pranay registered the iOS app in QBSE's Google developer account and thus got the client id.
